At last, a Lisa

NICE - 

I have two but both have the square pixel mod and so far i've only been able to boot up into macworks. the Hard drives / floppy drives that came with them don't work.  

(i used a floppy emu to boot images)

How is the screen? I find mine can't hold a straight vertical line. I've gotten it better with new recap'd powersupply.  But yeah the warping is still there. (most noticable with up/down lines.)

 
Isn't that technically a Lisa 2 / Mac XL ?
It’s a 2/5, not the later 2/10 or Mac XL.

My screen is okay and pretty stable, though I need to re-recap the PSU with caps rated for a higher ripple current. You should pull the analog board out of yours and recap it, as well as reflow all the joints and shoot deoxit into the trimmer pots.

Nice find! Welcome to the club of Lisa owners. If you want to revive the widget hard drive have a look at the widget postings here in the forum or at lisalist2.com.

Some of us have had the same issue after recapping and were discussing it on another thread - check this post out:
