I heard they
did have to cheat, of a sort, on some of the rarer models 
 where
  no pristine example was at their disposal. I
think the original Mac 128K 
 was
  one of those, but I haven't seen the book
yet. 
 Are these really that rare? I have a very nice one, as-new, with original
 carry bag, printer, external floppy, manuals, etc, but didn't think it was
 overly rare. I'll be happy enough if I'm wrong... 
 
It may be overly harsh, but I think that anybody who can't find a
Macintosh or a PC (5150) isn't trying hard enough.
