Quicksilver G4 for trade (Bad Pwr SUP)

I have a PowerMacintosh G4 800MHz Quicksilver With a bad power supply (system unit only [no Keyboard, mouse, monitor etc) and no Hard drive that I would like to trade for an older 68k Macintosh, I will include one of my extra completely blank Hard Drives, though as I do not have another system that can run Mac OS 9.x it will be completely blank. To be more specific I would like one of the fallowing:

Macintosh SE
Macintosh II
Macintosh IIx
Macintosh IIcx
Macintosh IIsi
Macintosh IIfx
Macintosh LC (Original 68020 based LC).
Macintosh LC II

NOTE: You will note that these all support 24 Bit addressing and the ability to run System Software 6.0.x.

If some has the HW for trade and is willing to include both a Macintosh SE and one of the desktop systems I would greatly appreciate it. I would rather see this G4 go to some one that is likely to replace or repair the Power Supply and get it running and use it than to see it go to a recycler, or get bought by some one that may demolish it for profit. So I ask that the person that accepts this trade make use of this computer, and keep it running.

Ok since it seems that no one is interested, I guess I will go ahead and make an adapter to use an ATX power supply (it was difficult to find the power supply pinout for the G4 QuickSilver). Thankfully the +25 volt connections are not required.

I guess that I will have a very fast back up Macintosh.

This is exactly what I did, there is a website that explains what needs to be done, also I did the "two diodes" for self power up, works a treat Smile A great computer for next to no money.
