I wanted to add how I got my non working lisa 2/5.  I was going to garage sales and went to this odd one in downtown Omaha.  it was in a fenced in lot with strange electronics.  There in the middle was a FREE pile, and sitting there was a neglected apple lisa with no chips and containing everything but ram and a cpu card.  I still have it and work on it when I have the time I got the button to at least light up.  Still one of my favorite apples in my collection.

Kevin,
To obtain a Lisa the way you mention is gonna require luck, and being in the right place at the right time, and patience, LOTS of it! Believe it or not, it happened to me :-) and I got my Lisa 2 (Macintosh XL) for a paltry $125 after posting a 'wanted' ad on Craigslist. I truly did not believe anyone would respond to it, but unbelievably, someone did, from out of state. It was a church deacon who said the church had a Lisa 2 gathering dust since they last used it in '95 and they wanted to find a new home for it. I made them the offer, they accepted and it's got a place of honor in my collection of vintage Mac computers! Sooo, you might try Craigslist like I did. But I would not count on finding the original Lisa with the dual Twiggy drives as they're as rare as hen's teeth. Good luck!
Sally

Subject: Getting a Lisa


Hi
My name is Kevin. I have ALWAYS wanted a Lisa! They sound so cool,
but unfortunately unobtaniable. What are the odds of finding one that
isn't one eBay and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I really have no
money to put towards this. Also which one is the one to get?
