Powerbook 5300c
So I'm close to having my second most favoured Mac back; a Powerbook 5300c I used all through high school, only to have the screen shatter!
Well Beachycove was nice enough to give me a 5300c with a loose power jack, but an immaculate screen! I managed to get the screens switched last night and things are looking good!
Neither the drive in my original 5300c or the new one were booting, but the donor had a 1.3 Gb drive! I will try to get them sorted tonight using SCSI target disk mode. Here's some pics.

I'd love to get whatever parts you have left as I have one that was pulled apart forever ago by someone and given to me. It's literally just parts but I like a good puzzle now and again.
when I get mine working properly I might be able to send you the bulk of my leftovers.
