- 💻 🍏 APPLE MACINTOSH POWERBOOK DUO 230 - WORKSTATION BUNDLE (TESTED WORKING) 🍏 💻Up for sale is a beautiful, highly collectibleApple Macintosh PowerBook Duo 230laptop lot featuring an array of original early-1990s accessories. This machine is verified working and boots cleanly, making it a fantastic addition to any vintage computing museum or hobbyist setup.⚙️ Physical Testing & Functionality
- 📸 Proven Working: This laptop successfully powers up, initializes, and boots all the way into the operating system.
- 📝 Software Tested: As captured in the listing photos, the computer cleanly opened and ran ClarisWorks without issue.
- 💥 The Charger Incident: A few minutes into the test session, a separate vintage AC wall adapter suffered a standard component failure (the common internal RIFA paper capacitor popped and smoked). This failure was contained strictly inside that separate power supply box. The laptop itself was completely unaffected, unscorched, and remains in its verified working state.
📦 What You Get- 💻 Apple PowerBook Duo 230 Laptop: Verified working and booting into OS/ClarisWorks.
- 🔋 Three (3) Genuine Apple NiMH Batteries: Includes the original battery currently installed inside the laptop chassis, plus two (2) additional spare batteries safely housed inside their heavy protective plastic travel storage cases.
- 🔌 One (1) Genuine Apple External Battery Recharger: The rare desktop companion accessory meant to condition and charge spare Duo batteries outside the laptop.
- ⚠️ NO AC WALL CHARGER IS INCLUDED. You will need your own compatible 24V Apple power supply (such as an original Duo brick or a PowerBook 1400/3400 series "Yo-Yo" adapter) to deliver power to the laptop or recharger.
📋 Item Condition- ⭐ Laptop: Confirmed working prior to the separate test brick failure. Trackball, screen, and hinges are physically intact and operational.
- ⭐ Accessories: The 2 storage cases and the external desktop recharger.
- ⚠️ Battery Condition: Due to being over 30 years old, all 3 included batteries are assumed to be depleted/chemically dead. They are included as premium display pieces or as prime candidates for hobbyists looking to rebuild/re-cell them. (Because these are vintage NiMH dry-cells, they predate modern Lithium-ion shipping restrictions and are completely safe for standard ground shipping).
