Original 160+ pg. Macintosh Owner's Guide, original mid-1984 Version B.  No writing or markings inside, clean and nice.  Nice white cover, minor shelf wear as expected from age, all pages securely attached to spiral binding.  Original genuine 1984 Apple Mac 400K floppy disks- Macintosh System disk, and A Guided Tour of Macintosh disk. Guided Tour audio tutorial cassette in plastic caseOriginal power cord Picasso cardboard sleeve, non-original new power cord includedApple Macintosh Retail Box-  Serial # label on box also is for a week 31 production Macintosh (starts with F431), however the 3 digit sequence code is not the same as the Macintosh, so likely the dealer put the Mac back in the wrong box when they had out a couple at a time to test or demo them, but the box is for a Mac made in the exact same week of 1984 as the included Macintosh.  This set was acquired directly from the original owner who purchased new in 1984.  Date code stamped inside the bottom box flap is "6-84" indicating the box was made by the box manufacturer in June 1984.  Box includes both the original top and bottom internal white Styrofoam that hold the Mac, top tray has embossed Apple logo, foam not cracked or broken! Box is very nice considering the age and when compared to others that still exist.  One side carry handle is mostly torn through, the other one is still okay, but should not be used to pick up the box, especially when full.  Box is not all re-taped over with ugly brown shipping or duct tape like many will have.  Has remnants of the original tape strips, and some clear tape was added along bottom edges at some point.  All top and bottom box flaps are still securely attached.  NO water damage or mold stains from poor storage like many seen that have ugly brown water stains along the bottom edges and absorbed up the sides of the box which ruin the appearance, structural integrity, and collector value of the original box.  Picasso graphics on both faces and Macintosh lettering on each side of the box are very nice and fully legible.  Box is slightly discolored from age and lightly soiled with some stain spots like something was spilled on it, and a number written in marker on the one side, but is nearly 35 years old and was used to ship Mac in when new.  Most of these 1984 Macintosh boxes are long gone by now, or in much worse condition than this one.  Ready for prominent display in your Apple collection!This 1984 Macintosh 128K Model M0001 complete set in Picasso retail box will be the highlight of your Apple collection for years to come.  The ultimate gift for the Apple collector.  Increasingly rare now to find a complete Macintosh M0001 128K set in the nice Macintosh retail box in this cosmetic and fully functional condition!  Use Buy It Now or make a quality best offer, lowball offers are automatically declined.Shipping via FedEx in US includes full insurance and online tracking number, Direct Signature from buyer required at delivery due to value.  Original Apple Macintosh box will be packaged and protected inside a large sturdy outer large NEW plain shipping box for full protection of the original Apple box, with large FRAGILE stickers all around.  PayPal required, immediate payment due at purchase, do not make offer unless you have funds and can pay in full at time of offer. Please visit my ebay store 80's Macs and Games for many more early Apple and Mac collectibles!  Will soon also list a very nice non-boxed 1984 Macintosh M0001 128K complete original set, a very early production non-boxed 1984 Mac 128K set, and a Macintosh M0001 with 512K upgrade, plus many, many more original 1984 Mac sets to come!
