IBM Thinkpad 390 type 2626 12.1"

Looking for the base assembly for one of these. I have one where the hinges broke off from the bottom assembly. The laptop works fine, just that the hinges are screwed.
Anyone happens to see one, let me know.
Dont want to spend an arm and leg for the base either as the machine really isnt worth anything. Just a conversation piece..
Tks

Gene

I have seen some stripped down versions of other 390 series ie 14" missing the CD-ROM, floppy, memory and broken screens selling for 10 bucks plus shipping($23)...then there are the dreamers I mentioned in another post..wanting 50 bucks for a stripped down unit with broken LCD and $70 shipping!!!!.wouldnt want to go much higher than ten plus shipping as I mentioned before, the laptop really isnt worth much...just wanted to fix it up so dont want to put any real money into it...I have seen the "Base Cover assembly" in various places looking for $70-90..I would just a soon get a non functioning unit (bad lcd) and just swap mine..certainly less work than completely re-assembling the whole unit with a new base assembly (using my working parts)

It didn't happen, the bottom case I saw was on the verge of falling to pieces
