Perhaps I can help . . . I have a couple of TS806's sans HDD.  Any
interest?

 Greetings,

 I'm looking for a TeleVideo CP/M machine, particularly the TS-803 or
 TS-1603.  If you have one of these computers, or one similar to this one
 (not including the portable), I'd be interesting in buying it.  Or, if you
...
  have suggestions on where else I might look for one,
I'd really appreciate
...
  it.  These were great machines, but they're hard
to find now!

 Actually, I may be interested in two of these, if they're available.  This
...
  may turn into a crazy project, but I have the idea of
taking one of them and
...
  replacing the guts with a standard PC
motherboard/hd/ram/power supply
 combination to run Linux on it.  The TeleVideo 803/1603 has a unique case,
...
  which would make for a great looking computer even
today.  The trick would
...
  be maitaining compatibility with the keyboard cable
and monitor; not to
 mention fitting the components inside reliably.  But what a coup it would
 be!

 Thanks.  I'm in the Seattle area, fwiw.
