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 Macintosh was produced during week 30 of 1984 as decoded from the serial # label on the Mac that begins with F430 (F= Fremont, CA production plant, 4= 1984, 30= 30th week of year) indicating this Mac was produced during late July 1984, the Macintosh was first introduced and launched in late January 1984. Original keyboard and mouse are week 30 and week 29 of 1984 production as decoded respectively from their serial numbers. Original 'Macintosh' emblem on rear (very late 1984 production M0001 Macs had a revised 'Macintosh 128k' emblem starting during week 47 of production, all Macs before then had this original "Macintosh" emblem). Steve Jobs and the original Macintosh team signatures are molded inside the rear case housing.Macintosh system unit- (Model M0001)- Upgraded with 512K RAM Macintosh motherboard. Original beige/cream color, not all darkly yellowed, discolored, mismatched, marked up, cracked, or damaged like many are now. No marker writing, no stickers or old sticker outlines, no cracks or missing parts, no engravings, only minor imperfections and some typical discoloration on the case as expected for a 35 year old pre-owned computer, very hard to find now in this nice clean 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 ugly nicks and chips at the seams, but often is not shown or can not be seen in photos. Screen is bright, crisp, and stable with no burned-in image, or scratches on the glass. No corrosion to rear clock battery compartment, unlike many that have damage from an old battery that leaked out. All four original rubber feet on bottom of case and clean. Inside of Mac case is exceptionally clean, no corrosion, no dirt or dust, properly stored. Original Sony 400K Single-Sided Internal Disk Drive- Disk insert and eject mechanism cleaned and re-lubed so disks go in and out smoothly like new again. Drive read/write head cleaned and tested. Included disks load, run, and eject as expected. Original Macs are completely dependent on the floppy drive, as there is no hard drive, so having a properly serviced and tested floppy disk drive like this Mac is essential for reliable use.Original 1984 Apple Macintosh keyboard- (Model # M0110) Includes original curled flexible keyboard cable with undamaged prong clip connectors on each end (clips not broken off like many are now that will not firmly connect), coil cable nice and tight not all stretched out like heavily worn ones. Week 30 of 1984 production from the serial # staring with G430 (4= 1984, 30= week 30). All four original rubber feet still on bottom, clean excellent condition. All keys are clean and functional, no dust or dirt between keys, every key tested to register working on the Mac display.Original 1984 Apple Macintosh one-button mouse- (Model # M0100) Original early square style mouse connector with screws to attach securely to the Mac. Week 29 of 1984 production from the serial # starting with G429 (4= 1984, 29= week 29). Clean, cable undamaged, rolls smoothly, and working perfectly. Mac mice and keyboards were made at a different production plant than Macs, then were later paired with a Mac for 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 from a much later week of production than the Mac. Completed Macintosh units were not left sitting around waiting weeks for a mouse and keyboard, they were shipped right out with the accessories already produced and available. This is a matching original set as it came from Apple 1984.Original Picasso Mac Accessory Kit- Rare original Mac plastic Picasso Accessory Kit box. Some discoloration from the original white, but not heavily yellowed or uneven discoloration or spotted like many seen now are. NO cracks to the corners of the lid, unlike most that have splits, chips and cracks to the plastic. Apple logos are embossed into inside tray. Includes a brand new tan standard generic power cord. Includes unused MacWorld Magazine offer sheet featuring Steve Jobs! Also includes bonus unused vintage Apple Rainbow logo cling decals as shown!Genuine Apple 400K Mac disks- 1984 Macintosh System disk, and MacPaint MacWrite software disk! Disks fully tested and working on this Mac with the recently serviced internal disk drive. Original disk labels are in very good condition for the age, some writing on the one label. Increasingly hard to find genuine Apple Macintosh disks like these in working condition!Macintosh Owner's Guide- Version B from 1984, 160+ pages. No writing on cover or on any of the interior pages.
