This machine is a very special Macintosh 128k with the
signatures of the design team on the inside of the case!
To explain how special this machine truely is, here's a little
background on the Apple Macintosh itself:
The Macintosh was introduced by the now famous US$1.5 million
television commercial by Ridley Scott, "1984", that most notably aired
on CBS during the third quarter of Super Bowl XVIII on January 22,
1984. This Macintosh didn't have a model number - it was simply the
Macintosh. There was no name on the front. Early 128Ks simply said
"Macintosh" on the back, while later ones were marked "Macintosh 128K"
to distinguish them from the later Macintosh 512K.
Equipped with 128 KB RAM, 64 KB ROM, a 3.5" 400 KB floppy drive, a
1-bit 512 x 342 pixel b&w monitor, a mouse, and a couple
applications (MacWrite and MacPaint), the Macintosh was destined to
change the face of computing forever - it not only created the Mac look
and feel, it also inspired forthcoming versions of Microsoft Windows
and several other windowing interfaces.
The Macintosh had twice as much memory as the popular Commodore 64, put
2.5 times as much data on a floppy disk as the IBM PC's single-sided
5.25" disk, included two serial ports (one which could be used for
networking at the then-incredible speed of 230.4 kbps), and a totally
graphical operating system, all packed into the cutest, friendliest
package the computer industry had yet seen. Apple sold 70,000 during
its first 100 days on the market.
If you didn't crave a lot of speed,
you could even add a serial hard drive. In fact, Apple's argument for a
closed box (no slots) was that the high speed serial port was fast
enough for anything you might want to add to the Macintosh - this was
certainly not true for hard drives.
The Macintosh was supplemented by the 512K in October. (It's commonly
told that the original Macintosh would have had 256 KB of memory if RAM
prices hadn't been so high.)
This item has been tested
working
and will be shipped fully insured to guarantee you receive an
incredibly rare, fully functional Apple Macintosh!

We'll start the tour with how you would have recieved the computer back
in 1984. The original box still looks great as you can see!


As you can see the box is not perfect, but given that it's made out of
cardboard and ment for shipping AND is 27 years old it really isn't bad!



It's incredible after 27 years to still have one of these in their
original boxes!







Open the box and the original Macintosh Piccaso software and manual
case greets you!

It still looks great in here!

Under the first layer of styrofoam is the computer, keyboard and
mouse. Notice how square the corners of the keyboard and mouse
box are!
Remove everything and the bottom layer of styrofoam still looks great!

And here it is!
This original plastic case is still in excellent shape! It has
been well cared for!

It has some scuffs on the back, but keep in mind this case is made out
of what is with all respects very flimsy plastic! It took a
careful owner to keep it looking even this nice!
It opens up to reveal the original owner's manuals and power cord in
its
Picasso case!
You get the original Guided Tour of Macintosh disk along with MacWrite
and MacPaint A guided tour disk!

You also get the original tour cassette and programmer's switch!



The Macintosh Owner's manual part number is 030-0687-B





The keyboard and mouse still in their original cases! It's
amazing these were preserved for so long! Look at these
pictures. I would say the cardboard and styrofoam are near
perfect if not perfect!



Keyboard has been tested and works 100%!

Here is the keyboard cord! Still looking great as you can
see. It's not stretched out!


Museum quality!


The mouse packaging is just as good! You can look long and far,
but you won't find a nicer one!


Original Mouse is in perfect working order!


Now for the best part, the original 1984 Macintosh 128k!



Your original Macintosh 1984 (128k) was the 3233th Mac manufactured
during the 13th week of 1984 in Fremont, California, USA.


No yellowing! No kidding! All original!











The computer is not just a show peice! It'll work!

Original Macintosh Finder!

Floppy drive, monitor, all keys, and keyboard are working great!
What more could you ask for?

The original 400k floppy still works perfectly and will auto eject just
