Look what I found in the woods!
I once found a Lisa at the local ancient ewaste recycler in horrible shape (got it for free) and put it on eBay. I documented the condition well and mentioned it was likely only good for a case and bracketry and it sold $244. The buyer gave me neutral feedback saying it wasn't in very good condition... The buyer was the Computer History Museum.Too bad it wasn't a Lisa. That would've been something!

Brilliant conquest and story!
That Intergraph monitor.. that's off a Clipper UNIX box. Probably a 2xxx series.
I used to run those on some 2400's and a 6800 with CLIX. Dead tech sadly, though it was a lovely UNIX and the Clipper RISC (C[1,2,3,4]00's) processors for the day were pretty nice. Quite unobtanium these days.
Monitors were easy to get working off VGA if the card supplied SOG signals correctly.

I actually love this thread so much, I could just play billiards in the rain in my underpants!
