The disk was revived bij turning it manually for a long time so the grease around the bearings softened. But to see if it really worked I needed a working Lisa. I acquired one wit…

Still nothing on how you got the drive running again???

Nice but noisy.

Nice!

Ok. A nice video to end this topic! I have build in the widget drive. It still gets its power form an external PSU. A plain normai cheap power unit from an old computer. I ripped o…

Mine runs SSW 7 - I even have the restore CD for it.  Works great

S short for STN, otherwise super twisted nematic.

Yes. It is easy. Just 5 or 6 small screws reachable from inside. I washed them in a bath with washing powder and they look nice and clean now. I also removed the two bottom plates …

I could never figure out how to remove the side panels.  Is it easy?

Ah okay. I didn't see the skeleton of the metal frame or the drive cage.

Here are some more pictures. Side panels are off. I'm cleaning the plastic. My desk has not much space .... View attachment 6614

What the heck are you displaying that on? The picture is too dark to tell but it doesn't look like a Lisa, even with the front bezel missing.

@tanuki65 Repairing the Lisa is not in this post. I will report later about this. Just like to inform all followers of this post that the Widget is working. Thats GREAT news if y…

I thought your Lisa had no logic/mother board? Edit: I love Lisas, but I cannot justify spending US$1000 on a computer I can't upgrade/repair (10 000 volts on a CRT).

BREAKING NEWS!!!! With some spare parts I could test my Widget drive. And.... It is alive!!! The Lisa boots up nicely from it. So my efforts to revive it a succes! See pictures: …

techknight said: the guy who figured out the 640x480 mod, I have no idea how he figured it out. Maybe it came from an internal apple employee, or repair guy. Hard to say.  …

I would think that IF a platinum face plate exists from the original design it would be an ED model sold in Europe. Seems education models had the most variants over there. I almos…

Fair enough, I've never seen reference to a platinum original face plate or bezel and (sorry) am not convinced it exists, would love to be proved wrong (gives me another variant to…

Only in rumor and conjecture does an original face-plate design exist in platinum. Same for the original keyboard (without numeric pad). That is not to say they do not exist, just …

I think I can already answer this question BUT here goes. In my collection I have a Colour Classic and a Color Classic. As far as I know, same model numbers too but I will double …
