Steve,
F.Y.I., even if you do get it working, the Lisa2's clock only supports a span of 16 years (for dates), starting with various years in the 1980's depending on the environment you are running. I have patched MacWorks+II to support up to year 2020, and I believe that MW and MW+ are also patchable. Without a patch, even a working Lisa2 clock is stuck in the 20th century.

Detailed instructions for the lubrication of the floppy drive are in the "SUN X/Lisa DIY guide". I seen a .PDF version of this book floating around the net, or SUN may still sell you a copy. Rick
