Original vintage Apple Macintosh 512K computer, model M0001W.
This early Macintosh powers on and the built-in CRT/display is working. The computer was previously successfully booted from a Macintosh System floppy disk and reached the Finder desktop.
PLEASE READ REGARDING FLOPPY DRIVE
During testing, a System floppy disk was initially installed in the computer and the Macintosh successfully booted to the Finder desktop.
The floppy disk was later manually ejected using the release hole/paperclip method. After removal, the floppy drive will no longer accept/load the disk properly. The disk can be inserted partway into the slot, but the drive does not appear to grab or pull the disk into position.
Because the Macintosh requires a startup disk, it now powers on to the normal blinking floppy disk/question-mark icon.
The floppy drive will need repair, adjustment or replacement. No further testing has been performed.

• CRT/display works
• Previously successfully booted from System floppy to Macintosh Finder

• Currently displays blinking floppy disk/question-mark icon at startup
• Floppy drive currently does NOT accept/load a floppy disk

COSMETIC CONDITION
Good overall vintage condition for its age with normal cosmetic wear, discoloration, marks and scuffs from age, use and storage.
Please carefully review all photos for the exact cosmetic condition.
INCLUDED
• Apple Macintosh 512K M0001W computer
• Power cord
Keyboard, keyboard cable, mouse, carrying case, monitor and other accessories are NOT included.
The keyboard, mouse and carrying case from this Macintosh setup are being sold separately.
IMPORTANT
This is an approximately 40-year-old vintage computer with a known floppy-drive problem. Although it powers on, displays properly and previously booted successfully to Finder, it is being sold with the floppy-drive issue described above and should be considered a vintage computer needing repair/service.
The blinking question-mark disk icon is expected under its present condition because the computer cannot currently load the System disk.
An excellent candidate for restoration, repair, parts or display, and a desirable original Macintosh 512K for a vintage Apple collection.
Please review the photos and description carefully before purchasing. You will receive the actual Macintosh shown.
