I ordered a Lisa keyboard pad repair kit from an overseas eBay seller, but my order disappeared and there is no trace of the seller anymore. Does anyone know of a seller that can supply the repair pads? I could make them myself but would much rather buy a premade set.
I successfully installed the Lisa 3.1 OS from the Floppy Emu Lisa onto my Lisa 2/10, but have been unable to install the Lisa 7/7 Tools (LisaWrite, LisaDraw, etc). Were they supposed to be installed during the LOS install? If so, I have not located them on the hard drive (9k free "blocks", 13.5k...

After reseating the cards and some of the chips on the Widget, and tweaking the pots on the Widget's motherboard, it now boots up to MacWorks 😀
I can also erase/write/read the floppy drive.
I think the real trick was cleaning the Lisa's cover panels. This old girl still likes to look good!
