    And so I snagged a CF-29CTKGZDM for $150

    I got it in hand with rubber keyboard/40G drive/Caddy/Floppy/Working touch and all... I haven't had the opportunity to load it up and test it yet as I don't have any caddies for it...

    I'll let you all know :)...

    FWIW - I'll be using this in my truck instead of my CF-73 for my music and whatnot. I think this will be much better for the winter too because of the HDD heater :)

    I'll take my working touch 73 and use it at my house for home automation :)

    Yes a very good deal
    I find that the mk-1 units have less issues with touchscreen failures

    I'll give you a dollar for that keyboard , shipped of course in a manila envelope

    Alex, what's your experience with CF-19 Touchscreens on Mark 1's?

    I got 2 in today and I'm gonna take one to give to Samantha and sell the other one to Connor... CF-19CHBAXBM...

    None of us on here sell many cf-19's
    I have had just a few , most are digitizer's , and there has been no issues with them
    But the grief of the faulty touchsceen hit the cf-18 later models , I have a cf-18 mk-5 with a bad touchcreen

    I sell more cf-73 and cf-74 models and don't count on the touchcreen to work forever
