I currently have leads on three Lisa 2/5 systems (two working, one
completely dead and scavanged for parts already). It's very very
possible that both of the working models have already undergone
the "Mac XLectomy". Is it possible to reverse the Macification of
the Lisa? I want to run the original virgin Lisa software :)
I believ3 that the dead Lisa still has the motherboard, and that it
is an original Lisa 2/5 motherboard. Can I just make a swap, or
is the XLectomy more insidious?

The Macintosh Screen Modification involves changing out some ROMS (boot and video) and replacing the yoke coil, as well as performing voltage and video geometry adjustments afterward. It's technically reversible if you have the old parts -- where to get them, I don't know. You'd need the voltage and screen-size specs to get it just right (and avoid blowing the power supply). Sun Remarketing still sells the mod kit, so perhaps they have the parts that were removed to do modifications?
