Ok, so assuming this is the correct number of original Lisas sold (which I
still believe to be a high number) then using our ">98%" estimate of units
upgraded we can say with complete uncertaintly that less than 200 of the
original Lisas remain. I firmly believe the number is less than 100, and
quite probably less than 50.

80,000 total Lisa machines (Lisa, Lisa 2, Lisa 2/5, Lisa 2/10, MacXL)
which explains why the latter machines are so easy to find (and further
exemplifies how inflated prices for Lisas are, the original Lisa
notwithstanding).
