Mywife and I have been collecting and selling on since 1997. Ihave been repairing and selling Macs since the early part of 1986,which includes dozens of 128k Macs.
Thislisting is for an EXCELLENT 1984 Macintosh 128k model M0001 it wasmanufactured (or final assembly happened) during the 22th week of1984. The Mac comes with a GMCC HYPERDRIVE, that took hours toinstall, and adjust correctly! (read about it further down in thedescription). All plastics(including the keyboard and mouse) received a thorough machine wash,followed by a detailed hand cleaning. The Logic Board and AnalogBoard, were cleaned with 91% alcohol and compressed air. EXTREMELYslight corrosion in the PRAM battery compartment on the top contact,the corrosion was treated and will not spread, especially since thereis no leaky battery installed.
Removaland re-installation of the HyperDrive was one of the biggest pains Ihave ever experienced in all my years of restoring Macs! However, itwas also one of the most enjoyable! In general, I don\'t fool withthird party upgrades on 128ks, but I could not pass up the challengeof getting this one up and going. I hate using the word “rare”ina listing, but I have to ask, when is the last time anyone has seen aworking HyperDrive from 1984 installed in a 1984 128k????? The answeris, in the last 15 years, exactly......ZERO:) This is a 1984 Mac,with a working 1984 Hard Drive!!!!
Programsinstalled on the are
MacWrite
MacPaint (with Jobs image file)
Word 3.0
WriteNow 2.0
Stuffit 1.5.1 (before it was Aladdin:)
MACTEST
Fedit Plus

Thehard drive in this 1984 Mac, is working right now, but the HyperDriveSystems were, and are especially now, fragile!!! I absolutely cannotguarantee it will work after shipping??? However even with theHyperDrive Hard Drive not working, it will still function as a normal128k. I know this because I tested it as such. I was curious, as towhat would happen should the drive ever fail, so I tested it with thehard drive not connected to its controller board!
Thelogic-board retains all the original ICs except for the 68000processor and the ROMs. I did a trial installation of the correctpart number ROMs, and a 68000 in the socket where the HyperDriveboard plus in, and it behaves exactly as a stock 128k Mac would, withnormal booting, reading disks, etc. It retains the original RAM onthe board, when the HyperDrive board is installed it bypasses themotherboard RAM, and the machine uses the 512k on RAM on the pluggedin board. So, should you in the future decide to return it to stockconfiguration, the process is pretty straight forward.
The 400k drive was completelydisassembled, had the disk chassis cleaned and re-lubricated, had theread and write head cleaned and height adjusted, and had the circuitboard cleaned with 91% and compressed air.
The EFI shield for the LogicBoard has no de-lamination.
Cosmetically the unit casesare in excellent condition, the color is great, just slightly darkerthan when it came from the factory. And yes, the rear case has allthe molded signatures of the original Macintosh design team, just asall Macs made in 1984/85 do. There are some areas of damage, as withall my listings I show those areas first. The worst damage is in thefirst eleven photos below, the photos represent the worst of it. Youcan see were there was a small blunt impact near the upper left handcorner of the rear case. But please, once you look at the photos,view the larger profile pictures again, and you\'ll see that the smallnicks and scratches are not that noticeable, if at all. It is stillin better shape than 99% of the 128k Macs being offered!
Thekeyboard (week 22) and 1984 Apple IIe mousecases and keys were machine washed, and are in excellent condition.The mouse had the ball, rollers and servos cleaned. As seen in thephotos the mouse is a bit discolored, with several nicks. Thekeyboard has had the circuit-board cleaned with 91% and compressedair. No grime or dirt residue on the keys, no dander, no hair, nospilled drinks and is a great color match for the Mac itself. Bothwork great. Please view the photos below for condition.
Lastlyfolks, there is no such thing as extended testing with software, orhardware diagnostics, to guarantee you will receive a Mac that willfunction for years, months, or even minutes. If you run thesemachines for many hours, especially the Mac 128ks / 512ks / and MacPlus since they have no fans, they get EXTREMELY HOT, and what youget in return for a supposed extended test, are machines that are notguaranteed to last that much longer, but in fact, guaranteed to failthat much sooner. They are old all die sooner or latter. Because of the fan for thehard drive, this one should hold up a bit better.
Letme take this opportunity to dispel a myth. TheMicron MT4264 chips on the boards were NOT terrible chips. Ifyou say that, then the Mitsubishi and NEC chips were also terrible!Apple used Micron MT4264s in almost ¾ of their 128k boards! So yes,you will see more failures with MT4264s! But the problem was not withthe chips, it was the fact that the little Mac 128k, had no COOLINGFAN! The chips worked as they are/were supposed to.
Thatbeing said, I believe that this 128k will hold up better than anybeing offered right now. I went through everything on the analog andlogic boards!
Thiswould be a great addition to any unique Apple collection, and my Macsare in several Museums around the would!
Thiswill ship packed well, and fully insured, through USPS PriorityMail. Saturday is not a business day. Internationally this will beshipped through the Global Shipping Program. Alaska, Hawaii, andU.S territories will have to pay actual shipping minus $97.00 (whichincludes insurance), which is what it would cost me to ship to themost expensive point in the 48 contiguous U.S States.
