The hardware
we assembled at Bletchley was in pretty good condition, but
still not without years worth of general handling wear. Considering
that, the photographers and graphics team did a pretty good job from
what I've seen of the book photos.
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...
Mike.
