Macintosh TV (1993)MacworldNineteen years after its debut, Apple’s first experiment in TV-computer integration remains the rarest full-production Mac ever released. Apple manufactured a mere 10,000 units of the Macintosh TV before pulling the plug four months after its launch.The Mac TV combined a personal computer with a television set, but the machine failed to fulfill either role particularly well. It was too expensive to be a reasonable TV set, too crippled to be a... reasonable Macintosh, and too limited in its TV-computer integration to be a practical hybrid.Perhaps for those reasons, Apple declined to extend the lifespan of this all-in-one flop, making the Mac TV an exceptionally rare machine today. If you’d like to find one yourself, be warned: As the only all-black desktop Macintosh released in the United States, it demands a high premium from collectors.This one is a survivor!! S/N PM4258XG20 purchased in Fall, 1993 in NH. Was part of a small Mac Apple-talk network in a business for a year but was soon replaced with faster machines. Then went to college as a dorm room machine and I am pretty sure is got loaded with PORN - but nobody will confess to be a pervert! I will remove this if requested. Came home and has been in a cool DRY basement since 2000, It is in very good condition - has a small burn mark on top where a tensor lamp bulb touched it. Everything is there in BLACK - including the AC line cord, keyboard and mouse plus original Apple mouse pad. VERY RARE!!!!
