    I've had this for a while now but at the present time it's not really useful for me to keep it around, so I've listed it on Ebay at:

    Ledco Docking Station Panasonic Toughbook CF-28/29/30 (eBay item 320680766740 end time 14-Apr-11 22:08:23 AEST) : Computers

    THere are two pictures with the listing showing you the top and underside.

    This listing basically tells you everything I can tell you about it. The unit was bought when I was intending to put a CF28 in my car, but because I couldn't work out a good way to do it for a RHD vehicle I didn't progress the idea and the docking station has sat indoors doing zilch.

    I don't have any mounting or pedestal hardware to go with it, nor any power supply wiring.

    Hope it's usefu to someone, otherwise I'll hang on to it and eventually will figure out a way to mount a system (probably a 1.6 ghz cf29) in one of my Saab's. Or even in the 80 series landcruiser I'm about to buy.

    Craig.

    Hello. I like this dock. What will be the cheapest way to mail it to Canada?
    On the Australian Ebay the shipping and handling is very high. I have time to wait. Vancouver BC, Canada, V5S4J3. Regards, Voytek.

    THere is no such thing as surface mail shipping any more as Australia Post has stopped doing it (all this 'terrorism' stuff is the reason), so the only way to send stuff internationally (same if I wanted to import TB items from the US or Canada) is to do it via air-based shipping. Standard airmail isn't too bad but expedited airmail is massively expensive (almost better to use a place like UPS or Fedex - oh hang on Fedex and me don't get along so can't use them. lol).

    I just priced up sending some Saab 900 early-style front brake calipers to the USA for a potential buyer and for an 11 kg parcel it about A$200 plus the 'security charge'. I don't think the Ledco unit is quite that heavy (I've estimated about 7 to 8 kg).
