Hi thanks. I knew it was an early Lisa, but not that early! Wow.

I visited a gentleman near Los Angeles who was selling his entire Lisa collection, and he had two units that were used in the film (a Lisa 1 and a Lisa 2/5). I bought them both, as he wouldn't separate them, along with a machine that used to be owned by Dafax Processing Corp - which had XLerator and LSAC prototypes inside (they work, too!). That was quite a day.

All required some light refurbishing and they're tip-top now.

Wow, do you have any pictures of the LSAC and XLerator prototypes? I'd love to see them if you're willing to share!

Sure, here you go: https://imgur.com/a/jovi2gD

I don't think they're very different than the final production run, at least visually, but sigma7 certainly knows the details.

AlexTheCat123

Yeah, other than the weird handwritten serial numbers, those look literally identical to the production models. But if there are any minor differences that I'm not noticing, then I'm sure @sigma7 can point them out!

Added another L1 from someone on Reddit.

I kinda wonder if we should expand the detail kept on the tracking sheet... like add some pictures or something? As the value of these systems goes up it's kinda helpful to spot "fake" L1s...
