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.
