No, I haven't. Where are they posted? I'm very curious.
Hmmm. Well, I have spares in the form of at least one Lisa 2. In fact, I
got this one working by swapping out the busboard and the I/O board from a
Lisa 2 (the batteries had leaked and corroded some components on the
original I/O board plus dripped into the connector socket for the I/O
board and damaged one of the pins). It's still at the Computer History
Museum and I won't be retrieving it until tomorrow, so I won't be able to
tell for sure until I get it back home and can start probing.

I certainly
believe this is the case. And I would imagine initial Lisa
sales (of the original machine) were well under 10,000 units. Perhaps as
low as 1,000 units.
By now you'll have read the revised figures.....I'm still slapping myself ;)
I hope it is
the PSU. I can't think of what else it might be. The weird
thing is that the power switch lamp comes on but nothing else does.
Mine did that, and it gave out the requisite number of clicks to show all
was OK, but it wasn't. The video board had died for some reason, and it
wasn't until I got a replacement from John Woodall (lenny15 on ebay) that I
got my machine working again. That was when I decided to get a full spares
kit.....
