This original Macintosh is all working, and exceptionally clean and nice all around! Ready for prominent display and actual use by the new owner! Smoke-free climate-controlled use and storage so no smoke or old musty odors absorbed into any of the included items which greatly detract from condition and value, but of course cannot be noticed in online photos, so make sure you know before you invest.
Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the launch of this original Macintosh M0001 128K model! The original Mac was introduced with the famous Orwellian '1984' commercial during the Super Bowl on January 22, 1984 and was the very first reasonably affordable personal computer to use a mouse and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) with desktop icons.
This EARLY Macintosh was produced during week 09 of 1984 as decoded from the serial # label on the Mac that begins with F425 (F= Fremont, CA production plant, 4= 1984, 09 = 9th week of year) indicating this Mac was produced sometime during the first week of February/last March of 1984. The Macintosh was first introduced and launched on January 24th 1984 so this Mac is from only one month after the initial launch!
Macintosh system unit - (Model M0001)- Original motherboard was upgraded to 512K RAM, with the original 400K single-sided internal floppy disk drive and the original external Model M0001 128K case housing and emblems.
Original 'Macintosh' emblem and Model M0001 label on rear (very late 1984 production M0001 Macs had a revised 'Macintosh 128k' emblem starting sometime during week 47 of production, all Macs before then had this original "Macintosh" emblem).
Mac is the original beige/cream color, not darkly yellowed, mismatched, marked up, cracked, or damaged like many are now. There is some typical minor darkening and discoloration. No marker writing, no stickers, no old sticker outlines, no cracks or missing parts, no engravings, only some little nicks and chips to some of the edges and corners, largest of which is on the back top corner these can be seen in the photos. Just minor imperfections as expected for a 40+ year old vintage pre-owned computer, very hard to find now in this very nice clean cosmetic condition.
The case does not have ugly pry marks all around the case seams, which greatly detracts from appearance and value. Many original Macs seen now have large nicks and chips all along the seams that connect the front case face to the back case, but often is not shown, or cannot be seen in photos. Macs that were improperly pried apart along the case seams with the wrong tools to open the case will have ugly gouges and large nicks all along the plastic case seams.
Screen is bright, crisp, and stable, no scratches on the glass 9" black and white CRT display. All four original rubber feet on bottom of case and clean, not sticky or melted like many found now are. There are four velco squares attached to bottom of case as shown, these were used to attach to a swivel stand, could be removed or left alone with they are not seen with Mac in use of course. Inside of the Macintosh case is exceptionally clean, no corrosion, no dirt or dust, clean, properly stored, cleaned with compressed air.
Original
Sony 400K Single-Sided Internal Disk Drive -
Disk insert and eject mechanism serviced, cleaned and re-lubed so disks go in and
out smoothly just like new again! Drive read/write head cleaned and tested.
Included original Macintosh disks load, run, and eject as expected. Original Macs are completely dependent on the internal floppy drive, as there is no hard drive, so having a properly serviced and tested floppy disk drive like this Mac is essential for actual use of the system. Most found now will have non-functioning drives that need extensive service or complete replacement, and these early drives in working condition are very hard to find now.
