New to list; need LCD for 701C

[Lewis Mills <lmills@socket.net>]

Hi all,
I just joined this list today.  I recently bought most of a ThinkPad
701C, and I'm afraid I'll never get in working order.  I bought it used,
with a cracked LCD and some missing parts.  I put off trying to get a
replacement screen while I rounded up an AC adapter, a caddy for a hard
drive, and a floppy.  Now that I have pretty much everything but the
LCD, I have discovered that they are hard to find and *very* expensive.
The best price I've been offered is $550 for a new one (Sharp, who made
the LCD, wants $1000; IBM-Boulder wants even more).  I have not found
any used ones.  Is there anyone on this list who has, or has a source
for, a reasonably priced new or used TFT for the 701?  Also, does anyone
know if the 10.4" TFTs IBM used in the 700C and 720C are the same as
those used in the 701C?
TIA,
Lewis
