Apple Lisa - Information & Help!

Hi everybody,

I've come across my Apple Lisa (2 I believe?) that had been stored in the attic for many of years and it is now unfortunately taking up too much space and I will need to look at parting with it.

If anybody can assist with confirming any information about it and a rough form of valuation, I would be eternally grateful.

When it was originally purchased in 1994 from a seller, it was in working order. I am unsure now as am yet to attempt to boot it.

I have attached a library of images of it also.

all that software is mac software, so it's actually a Macintosh XL

it's worth whatever you sell it for.

Oh wow! Thank you. I had no idea it was a Macintosh XL. Is the difference simply the screen size? I'm struggling to find comparison breakdowns online.

Model Number is: A6SB100P - if this is of any help?

Nice looking ensemble. Nice collection of software as well. You are wise to take caution in activating it.
Have you checked for corrosion on the motherboard from the backup batteries?
After many years in the attic it's possible something will fail very quickly and cause damage if you try to power it up.
Be ready to quickly kill the power if you try.
The whole setup will need, at the very least, all the capacitors replaced for it to be reliable to operate.

Thank you for your response.

I'm going to investigate the motherboard tonight for any damage and will report back!

EDIT: I've attached some photos of the rear access, is it game over??
