Re: Lisa 2/10

Thanks for that information! I didn't know that having a running machine was getting so rare! I actually only run it off of the internal drive--which sounds pretty rare too. I think I may need to go fire it up and check all the things you mentioned!

Thanks again!

I'd suggest testing every single key; if some don't work, replace all of the pads (I can tell you how to do that or direct you to links about it, if you want) and you're sure to get a higher price when selling for a little bit of work.

Also, how loud is your ProFile when running (is it silent, or does it sound like a fighter jet taking off)? This will also impact the value somewhat.
