Here it is, and it has been upgraded to a G3 processor, and seems to have everything it came with new. Care to make any predictions as to how high this will go?

Wow! That is the nicest TAM I've ever seen for sale. I've never seen one with ALL the accessories before. I would not be surprised if it passed a grand.
Strange how many TAMs hit the boards right now...
Just three days ago one TAM went for about 700 € (though missing any extras), I got mine for about 850 € in mint condition, just that little filling plate is missing (the one you put into the keyboard's resting zone when using the touchpad externally). So if anybody has one of those just let me know ;-)
I thought about upgrading the machine to a G3 but this would mean that the remote control doesn't work anymore (drops functionality when using OS versions above 8.5 for some odd reason) but I went on using the original 7.6.1 provided with my TAM (all original CDs are included); anyway, those G3 upgrades can not be send to europe anymore, Sonnet claims those strange US export regulations for it :roll:
It sure is a nice machine although it wasn't as "blazing" at that time as described in that eBay auction. Along with OS 9.2.2 and iTunes 1.1 it is a very very beautiful MP3 playback machine, even more beautiful than a G4 Cube! Did You know that the "Apple CD Player" software of the TAMs 7.6.1 OS is quite different from the regular 7.6.1 OS?
One of the (optically) nicest machines ever built! Just connecting it to a ethernet network is pain, it took me some hours to find out that Farallon PCI cards in a TAM stop working above OS 8.1 - and the original OS 7.6.1 just is not able to pick up pre-assigned, MAC-dependent IP adresses...
