No mention of memory size. But I would guess that it doesn't mention the
memory size because no size other than 128K was contemplated; i.e. this is
an original Mac. Any other way to check? BTW, were the "Programmer's
switches" (Interrupt and Reset) de-emphasized after the original Mac? My
Mac Plus has the same microswitches inside the case, but I had never heard
of them before.
This system is a bit of a puzzle. As I understand it, a single drive
original Mac was almost unusable, due to lack of RAM and the need for
frequent disk swaps. So I would expect mint condition. However, this system
(Mac, mouse, KB, Imagewriter printer) shows some signs of wear, even though
it was never upgraded to 512K, and there was no second drive with the system.

My original post may have been misleading. It just
says "Macintosh" on the
back of the case. I'm assuming that it's a 128K Mac because: ...
How can I check the memory capacity, to see if it's a 128K or a 512K Fat
Mac? I'm not that familiar with Macs.
Boot it up, drop down the left hand (I think) menu and select 'About
Finder'. This should indicate the memory in the system.
