Original Description:
Beautiful collector-quality early 1984 original Apple Macintosh 1st Model M0001 Mac 128K fully tested and working set!  Early week 9 of 1984 production complete with original Macintosh keyboard and mouse, plus the rare Macintosh Picasso white plastic accessory kit box with genuine original 1984 Apple Macintosh software disks, 1984 Macintosh Owner's Guide, and more!  Upgraded with genuine Apple Macintosh 512K RAM motherboard, yet still has the original Macintosh emblem and Mod...el M0001 label on rear case.  Many 512K upgrades replaced the original Macintosh emblem with a Macintosh 512K emblem and a new Model M0001W label on the back.  This Macintosh still maintains the original Mac 128K Model M0001 external appearance but has quadruple the RAM inside compared to the original specs. 
Macintosh is fully functional, clean and detailed all around, ready for prominent display and use by the new owner, it needs nothing.  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 can not be noticed in online photos, so make sure you know before you invest.
See my selling feedback and star ratings from buyers, all items exactly as shown and described, smoke-free, and packaged well to protect.  eBay seller under this same account for 20+ years since 1999, have sold hundreds of original 1984 Macintosh sets to satisfied buyers from all around the world!  Will provide assistance after the sale should the new owner need any help getting started with their new Mac! 
January 2021 will mark the 37th 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 Macintosh was produced during week 9 of 1984 as decoded from the serial # label on the Mac that begins with F409 (F= Fremont, CA production plant, 4= 1984, 09= 9th week of year) indicating this Mac was produced during the final week of February/first week of March 1984, the Mac first launched in late January.  The original keyboard was also made week 9 and the original mouse was made week 8 of 1984 as decoded from their serial numbers.  Original 'Macintosh' emblem on rear case (very late 1984 production M0001 Macs had a revised 'Macintosh 128k' emblem starting during week 47 of production, all Mac M0001 units 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 Apple Macintosh motherboard.  Very nice original beige/cream color, not all darkly yellowed, discolored, mismatched, marked up, cracked, or damaged like many are now.  No marker writing, no stickers, no cracks or missing parts, no engravings, only minor imperfections as expected for a 36+ 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 nicks and chips along 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.  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, however original disks that are this old can fail at any time.  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 is vey nice and tight, not all stretched out like heavily used ones.  Week 9 of 1984 production from the serial # staring with G409 (4= 1984, 09= week 9).  All four original rubber feet still on bottom, clean excellent condition.  There is an number lightly engraved below the serial # label on the bottom of the keyboard.  There is a nick on the front edge of the keyboard.  Color is original beige and matches the Mac, not yellowed or discolored.  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 8 of 1984 production from the serial # starting with G408 (4= 1984, 08= week 8).  Clean, cable undamaged, rolls smoothly, and working perfectly.  Color is original beige and matches the Mac, not yellowed or discolored. 
Original Picasso Mac Accessory Kit Box-  Rare original accessory box.  NO cracks to the corners of the lid, unlike many that have splits, chips and cracks to the plastic.  Nice clean original white color, not yellowed and discolored like many seen now are.  Apple logos are embossed into inside tray.  Original power cord not included, will include a brand new tan standard power cord that fits.  Also includes two original blank Apple disk labels, and two bonus unused vintage Apple Rainbow logo cling decals as shown! 
Genuine Apple 400K Mac disks - 1984 Macintosh System disk, and A Guided Tour of Macintosh 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.  Increasingly hard to find genuine Apple Macintosh disks like these from 1984 in working condition with original contents.  
Macintosh Owner's Guide -  No writing on cover or on any of the interior pages.  All pages and both covers securely attached, there is some staining on the page edges of several pages, all are readable.  Nice white cover with Picasso-style original Mac graphics, very clean and nice.
This original working 1984 Macintosh Model M0001 set will be the highlight of your vintage Apple computer collection!
