January 2023 marks the 39th Anniversary of the launch of thisoriginal Macintosh M0001 128K model! The Mac was first introduced withthe famous Orwellian "1984" commercial during Super Bowl XVIII onJanuary 22, 1984; and was the very first reasonably affordable personal/home computerto use a mouse and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) with desktopicons.

Macintosh system unit- (Model M0001)- Week 17 of 1984 production as decoded from the serial # on the Mac that starts with F417 whichdecodes as: F= Fremont, CA plant, 4= 1984, 17 = 17th week of year which was mid-April 1984. Serial# matches the original serial # label on the side of the original retail box. Original 128K motherboard upgraded to 512K RAM.

Mac is theoriginal beige/cream color, not all darkly yellowed, discolored, mismatched,marked up, cracked, or damaged like many seen now are. No marker writing,no stickers or old sticker outlines, no cracks or missing parts, no engravings,only very minor imperfections as expected for a nearly 39 year old pre-owned computer, but very hard to find now in this nice clean overall cosmetic condition!NO ugly pry marks to any of the case seams of the Mac as this unit was never pried apart improperly with the wrong tools like many were, which greatly detracts from appearance and value as many have large nicks and nicks at the seams, but often is not shown or cannot be seen in photos. Many of these early Macs were pried apart at the case seams leaving ugly gouges and marks on the case, but this one was not.NO corrosion to the clock memory battery compartment on the rear, many will have heavily corroded contacts from old batteries being left in which leak out and cause internal damage to the Mac, this one is clean!Allfour original rubber feet still on bottom of Mac and clean, not sticky. Screen display isbright, crisp, and stable with no burn-in or scratches on the glass.Steve Jobs and the original Macintosh design teams molded signatures inside therear case housing.

Sony 400K Single-Sided Internal Disk Drive- Disk insert and eject mechanism has been fully cleaned and re-lubricated, so disks go in andout smoothly as designed. Drive head cleaned so disks read properly. OriginalMacs are totally dependent on the floppy drive as there is no hard drive, so aproperly serviced and tested disk drive like this one is essential for original intended usegiven the age. If you risk buying a Mac with a non-serviced drive it will likely be locked up and unable to insertejec/t disks, or read disks, among other possible problems.

Original 1984 Apple Macintosh keyboard- (Model #M0110)w/original coiled keyboard cable.

Original 1984 Macintosh mice and keyboards were made at a different production plant from the Mac computers, then were paired up with a Macintosh unit for final packaging and shipment, so will always be from right around the same timeframe of production as the Mac if they are the originals that came with the Mac, not from a much earlier and certainly not a much later week of production than the Mac as completed Macintosh units were not left sitting around waiting for a mouse and keyboard, they were shipped out with the accessories that were already produced.This is a matching original set as it came from Apple in 1984 with week 17 production Mac, and the keyboard and mouse produced in week 17 and week 16 of 1984 respectively.

Boxincludes both the original top and bottom internal white Styrofoam that holdsthe Mac, in nice clean and white undamaged condition, not cracked or broken. Top foam has the large Apple embossed logo where the Picasso accessory kit box is placed.

Box is in excellent condition considering the age of nearly 39 years andit is the box this Mac was originally shipped in. Some discolorationand scuff, marks, edge wear, dings etc. as expected given the age. Overall very nice clean and solid! No other markings or writing onthe box. All box flaps are fully attached, originaltape on bottom and ends taped over with new clear tape to hold the box closed as the original tape had dried and detached. Four pieces of brown tape was added at some point on the top flaps as shown.
