I saw an ad in a recent Antic from a place that sells used equipment.
They had the 800XL for about $64 as I recall.  I don't have the address
handy but can dig it up if you can't find it.

New ones are still available and are under $80 in any case.  Your friend might
be smart to just buy a new one.  Computer Mail Order or Electronic One are
probably good sources.  CMO: (800) 233-8950, E/O: (614) 864-9994.

By the way, when you say "destroyed", do you mean he ran over it with the
family pickup truck, or is it physically intact but just no longer working,
for some non-obvious reason.  If it's the latter, I might be interested in
acquiring it for fixing up or spare parts.  I'd be willing to pay a small
amount for it, which would perhaps offset the cost of the replacement one.
Get back to me if your friend is interested and I'll give you a phone number.
