The Mac was first introduced with the famous Orwellian "1984" commercial during Super Bowl XVIII 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. Macintosh system unit- (Model M0001)- Week 20 of 1984 production as decoded from the serial # starting with F420 which decodes as: F= Fremont, CA plant, 4= 1984, 20= 20th week of year, which was in mid-May. Original "Macintosh" emblem on rear case. Steve Jobs and the original Macintosh team signatures are molded inside the rear case housing of the Mac. Has the original 128K motherboard, with upgrade to 512K. Many 512K upgrades replaced the original board with a new board and replaced the rear emblem and label with 512K ones. This one still maintains the original factory motherboard it came and the original M0001 external appearance.Mac is in exceptionally clean cosmetic condition, not all darkly yellowed or discolored or mismatched in color like many seen now are. No marker writing, no engravings, no cracks, no stickers, some typical minor marks, a couple of chips to the seams, and an old Apple sticker outline on the one side of case, and a rectangular shaped sticker outline on top, as shown. All four original rubber feet on bottom and clean. NO corrosion to the rear clock battery compartment unlike many of these Macs that had an old battery left in for years that leaked out inside causing damage to the contacts, and often to the internals also. Screen display is bright, crisp, and stable with no burn-in or scratches on the glass. Inside of the Mac is clean from always being stored in the box. Original Sony 400K Single-Sided Internal Disk Drive- Disk insert and eject mechanism fully cleaned and re-lubed so disks go in and out smoothly. Drive head cleaned so disks read properly. Original Macs are totally dependent on the floppy drive as there is no hard drive, so a properly serviced and tested disk drive is essential for original intended use given the age. Original 1984 Apple Macintosh keyboard- (Model # M0110) w/original coiled keyboard cable. Week 20 of 1984 production as decoded from the serial # starting with G420 (4=1984, 20= week 20). Original Picasso cardboard sleeve and white foam holders with embossed Apple logo, exposed sleeve edge have some typical tears from where it insert into the Styrofoam holders in the box and was reinforced with tape at some point. Still has the original clear shrink wrap still on the cover! Cable is clean and tightly coiled, not all stretched out like heavily used ones. All keys are clean and functional, no dust or dirt between keys, fully detailed and every key tested working to register with this Mac. Keyboard is exceptionally clean and nice.Original 1984 Apple Macintosh one-button mouse- (Model # M0100) Original square style plug connector. Week 19 of 1984 production as decoded from the serial # starting with G419 (4=1984, 19= week 19). Original Picasso cardboard sleeve and white foam holders with embossed Apple logo. Opened end of sleeve edge is good, the other end is still covered in the original clear shrink wrap!. Mouse rolls smoothly and works perfectly with the Mac. Mouse is exceptionally clean and nice.Original Mac mice and keyboards were made at a separate production plant from Macs, then were paired up with a Macintosh computer 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 weeks for a mouse and keyboard, they were shipped right out with the accessories that were already produced and available. This is a matching set as it came from Apple in 1984.1984 Macintosh Picasso Accessory Kit- Rare original Mac white plastic Picasso Accessory Kit box. Nice clean white color, not all ugly yellowed and heavily discolored like many seen now are. No cracks or splits to the plastic which is commonly seen, especially on the corners.
