Has anyone ever repaired a Lisa 2 with the following symptoms:  A
distorted video image on the upper 1/3 of the screen?  I'm the high
bidder on a Lisa 2 on ebay

If you look at the screen shots, the video screen is distorted very
similar to what my compact macs do with cold solder joints on the analog
board.  I figure that it's either a similar problem, dirty contacts  or
bad caps on the board.  Just wondering if anyone has seen similar
symptoms.  I think I can get a Lisa video board from a friend in DFW who
has a cache of Lisa's in storage.  The guy's Apple collection is
awesome.  He has several of absolutely every product Apple ever made
including a lot of prototype stuff that was never publicly released.
I usually don't attempt board level repair, but for a Lisa, I'll make an
exception.  I thought Tony might have done one before.  Have you ever
seen this one before Tony?
I think a Lisa would fit in perfectly with my NeXT's, Sun's, Indy and
BeBox.
Thanks,
James
You mean you're supposed to read the manual first?
