I don't usually disclose what I pay for something but I did pay LESS than $80. At $750, that other one is going to stay there a very long time. I found this one just after the one I purchased from Uniserver but just couldn't pass it up for the price. Except for a slight crack on one of the face plate corners that vanishes when closed, this thing is pristine.

I am almost certain the video issue resulted from transport. I can take the case off and everything works fine. When I put the case back on, the video doesn't work. The odd time, it will not work with the case off and I can see that there is no glow on the CRT neck. Video on or off, the machine boots normally. I think it's a loose CRT neck connector or a disturbed solder joint?

I've also had discussions with the Lisa owner on Kijiji. He's a great guy and will come down some but it's missing only the power supply and you'll have to pick it up. Unfortunately, with something this old, you never know what you're going to get.
