What? No PowerBook 550 ? ;) ;)

It's been a long time coming but I finally have my mini Apple store, tribute museum built. I hope you enjoy. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions.


On Walls:
Original Apple PowerMac G4 Cube Banner hung at release of G4 Cube at Apple Store Palo Alto. Flawless.

First Apple Computer poster circa 1980. Some small defects but a very rare artifact.

Volume 1 edition 1-3 Apple Personal Computer magazine. Not many of these were printed and they are all nearly flawless.

Apple Moose Head shirt. The internal, unofficial name given to the 1989 Macintosh Portable M5120. Shirts were given members of the design team during a release party for the Macintosh Portable prior to it's public release.

Apple Earthquake Survival guide shirt and pamphlet. This internal Apple document and shirt was given to Apple employees after the 1989 quake in case an event were to happen like that again. There is pamphlet from the Red Cross and Apple discussing what to do during an earthquake, where to meet in the event of another one, and how to protect one's self from injury.

Prototype NeXT Cube board with unknown configuration on the board itself. Hand built and untested. NeXT P/N: 437.00AB

1998 Apple Thinking Different Campaign booklet. This book contains all of Apple's famous Think Different photographs as well as poems accompanying the previous page for each picture. Extremely rare, and much simpler than trying to find space for all Apple's Think Different full size posters.

1985 Apple Confidential Dealers price list. 15 Aug 1985. One of the earliest examples of a price guide and an artifact of the Jackling Estate.

NeXT original poster circa 1988. This, now-classic image by Paul Rand for NeXT computers was the most expensive branding logo in branding history, at the time. Steve Jobs paid more than $100,000 for Paul Rand to brand NeXT Computers back in*when this emerged after Steve*departed Apple.*

1993 Apple putter given to individuals who attended a special corporate even in Cupertino during the early 90's. A former employee sold it to me and said they were the only one out for 20 individuals at the tournament. Of those 20 employees she was the only one who did not use the putter but rather took it to their car for safe keeping.

Apple Mathematica poster circa 1998.

Apple original THINK poster most famous for being behind Steve Job's on the post of him sitting on his desk. Branded off the original IBM THINK campaign Apple added its colors as a play/to poke fun at IBM.

1 share Pixar stock with Steve Jobs lithograph signature.

Vintage Apple cooler/radio working.

Apple Pippin working in box, working, serial numbers matching.

Apple Newton charging pad sealed in box, serial numbers matching.

Apple Newton 100 in box, working, serial numbers matching.

Apple Developers/Prototype Newton 110 in box, working, serial numbers matching.

Apple 1st Generation iPod, 5GB, in box, working, serial numbers matching.

Apple 3rd Generation iPod, 30GB, in box, working, serial numbers matching.

Apple eMate, working in box, serial numbers matching.

Macintosh Portable external battery charger in box, working, serial numbers matching.

Apple QuickTake 150 in box, working, serial numbers matching.

Apple PowerCD in box, working, serial numbers matching.

On Desk:
Apple IIe. Owner personally by Steve Jobs. Working.

Apple Lisa 2 Prototype working. This Lisa is very special. The back cover plate is smooth, missing the Apple logo, and has the letters F and B where the display control knobs are. This is different from a production Lisa has a textured back, has icons for the display control knobs, and has an Apple logo. The back bridge board is missing any identifying port marks and has the words "Pull here to remove" hand written on the back CPU rack. The ROM chips are extremely early and the Lisa itself has no Apple serial number. The PSU on the back is an extremely early production model being 331 and has no Apple markings on it besides what the manufacturer provided. The Lisa display an E87 in the upper right corner of the machine which is something unseen previously. The hard drive has very unique ROM chips and the display has an "Ultra Tuned" yoke. The keyboard, and mouse all have unique matching Apple tester numbers and the Lisa has an Apple Asset ID tag on it. This Lisa also has a instructions for development testing and the original Lisa 2 manual.

NeXT Cube 68040 25Mhz with 64MB of RAM and a "Sample-A" developers chip on the board. The NeXT Cube and Display are both fully working and are in their original, factory shipping boxes with matching serials. The internal boxes and factory plastic/foam to protect the NeXT Cube and Display are present. All NeXT/Open Step OS MO disks and CD-ROM's are in tact and in their boxes with a working original Maxtor HD and working original MO drive, NeXT branded. The NeXT branded hex tool and NeXT branded power cables are also present.

MacintoshTV in box, working, serial numbers matching. All original literature and CD-caddy/install CD's are present. Correct black, matching, Apple keyboard and mouse with internal boxes and factory plastic/foam to protect the MacTV.

Twentieth Anniversary Mac (TAM) working, with 64GB SSD upgrade, Sonnet 500Mhz accelerator, 128MB RAM, Bose buzz permanent fix, CD-ROM upgrade with prototype keyboard, PCBA riser to Twisted-Sister ethernet card, and USB with FATBACK.

In Display:
Mac OS X Public Beta disc. This disc was given to a select few Apple developers as a preview of what would become the Mac OS X operating system. This OS was mostly based off Steve's work at NeXT during the 80's-90's and provided massive GUI and performance upgrades. The CD is nearly flawless and has been installed on a G4 Cube. It's a half breed of Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS X. Most of the look of 9.2.2 with some OS X polishing touches but a very crude version of OS X.

MacWorld Magazine in perfect condition discussing Apple's new breakthrough computer the Twentieth Anniversary Mac. Vintage versions of MacWorld are fairly difficult to find but this specific edition discussing the TAM Mac is extremely rare. The TAM itself was a massive flop for Apple but the technology in the machine was well ahead of it's time. Unfortunately the TAM was discontinued after only a year and this relic is an artifact of how serious the TAM is.

Apple Bluetooth keyboard working, prototype. This keyboard is a fully working prototype with instructions for use on the bottom. The developers were supposed to check this unit in and out everyday on a sign out sheet. Somewhere along the way that did not happen and this keyboard made it out into the world. It's a fine example of an early development testing unit of the Apple Bluetooth keyboard sold at Apple stores from 2002-2007.

Vintage Apple colored pencil set with matching Apple logo wooden box. I picked these up because I'd never seen them before. The box is done in the traditional Apple wood of choice being maple. The wooden box also has a built in pencil sharpener should one need to resharpen a pencil. The set came in it's original plastic, which I have for safe keeping, but has never been used.

Vintage Apple floppy disk organizer circa 1985. This particular box is dark brown with a gold Apple logo in the center. These boxes are extremely rare, and this is a very early example of one of these organizers. Apple came out with a series of these back in the 80's for different computer releases. This one not having any distinguishing characteristics means it's one of the first models of this kind of organizer.

Macintosh M5126 Portable (backlit) working, prototype, with developers board, prototype modem card, 4MB of total RAM, PDS card with one of a kind SCSI port for CNC file dumping and extensions for communication with card. This Portable was not approved by the FCC and was not authorized for sale. The Portable has been confirmed to have one off custom soldered leads but engineers at Apple for development testing. A custom build spacer plate was built for a SCSI CF reader adapter so the Portable has 8GB of removable space. Includes call original accessories, case, extended numeric keypad, and manuals.

Apple PowerMac G4 Cube power supply working, prototype that came with prototype G4 Cube.

Apple PowerMac G4 Cube working, prototype. Only one known to exist. This Cube has the word Prototype across the back with no FCC approval and is not authorized for sale. The chip in the computer should be a 400MHz chip but it has been over clocked to 500Mhz. The Cube also has a massive CD-drive with an eject button on it for testing. The machine also has the only Cube with a built in speaker on the back, 0.75" cone on back. All board, chips, and hardware have EVT markings on them and each component is a piece that was unreleased for testing. The BIO and firmware are both one no one has ever seen or heard of. The only way the machine will run is on Mac OS 9.2.2.

Transparent Mac SE working, prototype. This Mac is probably one of the most, if not the most, iconic Mac's of all time. When I think of a Mac that little square with a 9" CRT is what pops into my head. For that reason this is the most coveted Mac possibly ever. I've heard different numbers thrown around on the number of these in the world. I can't definitely say I know exactly how many where made but there were less than 10 fully working models made. This transparent SE has an extremely early, hand soldered CPU board, with the correct Aladdin markings on the PSU/video board, and board internally. The transparent SE has a special set of images in the ROM files of the individuals responsible for the create of this clear monster. Supposedly these machines were produced clear for smoke testing and evaluation purposes so the developers could see inside the machine with it on. Few of these exist in the real world, most are still at Apple but this transparent beauty works flawlessly.

Macintosh M5120 Portable (backlit) working, with developers RAM, prototype modem card, 6MB of total RAM, and the extremely rare factory Apple backlit upgrade kit for the non-backlit model display. Includes call original accessories, case, and manuals.

Not on display:
2x 450Mhz PowerMac G4 Cube in box, working, serials matching, still in factory Apple protective foam/custom Apple protective wrap. Both have been tested but are new, other than being tested. All factory components including speakers, power supplies, and accessories are in their factory Apple foam packaging never opened. These Cube are flawless and I have never seen any like it in the past 3 years of upgrading Cubes.

Twentieth Anniversary Mac (TAM) in box, working, serial numbers matching with original receipt. The machine is still in the factory plastic all the seals on the inner boxes are in tact.

Apple Pismo laptop in new, box, working, serial numbers matching with dual extended capacity batteries, 512MB RAM, Mac OS X 10.4.11

Prototype TAM being restored currently.

Hi Haplan:

Wish I had known about you long ago. I worked for Apple for 13 years; left in 2002. I had lots of old, great stuff that I gave away to Apple store peeps that were total strangers. I'll be in touch about the few things remaining that I'm happy to just give you if you want them. At least I know they'll be appreciated. e.g. iSight in original box.

I bought my dad a TAM while I worked at Apple. I live in San Diego now and he recently passed away in Florida. Although I urged him to retain the box, perhaps "helpful" neighbors threw it away. I want to keep it for sentimental reasons, but strongly prefer to buy an original box - even a service box - to ship it home safely. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Claire

Very nice collection with some pieces I'd really like to have.

Just as a general comment, though, I noticed you labeled several of the CRTs as 21". I have several 17" CRTs and a 21" CRT in this general style(graphite/blueberry) and the 21" lacks any physical buttons on the front save for the power button on the right and a single button on the front left that will bring up display preferences on a computer so compatible(OS 8.5.5-10.5.8)
 
Currently I have these on display (I also have an iMac G4 somewhere):

Performa 637CD (1994) Running System 7.5.3 - this one is my baby. System 7 was the main OS I used through school (we were still using System 7 Macs in Newspaper when I was in High School, circa 2002-2003). It's filled with nostalgia but also runs some of my favorite software including Corel WordPerfect 3.5e. I don't boot my Performa much anymore (I need a period appropriate monitor for it) because it runs so well in Basilisk II on my modern Macs

Bondi Blue iMac G3 (1998) Running Mac OS 8.1 - I bought this mostly as a collection piece. Original keyboard and hockey puck mouse with it. It runs well (better than my Performa arguably) but I don't bother to emulate it. I coveted these so bad when they originally came out but of course I was at the mercy of what system my parents wanted to purchase and for them it was PCs.

Mac mini (2012) Running OS X 10.11 El Capitan - My primary desktop machine. I've dumped a bundle into it in upgrades and such. I'm thinking of replacing it next year but when I do, I plan to hook it up to the television and use it as an HTPC. These things are so great, really I expect to use it for ten years.

13'' Macbook Pro (2014) Running OS 10.11 El Capitan - First Mac laptop I've owned. Really it has met all my needs. I think I will look very favorably on this machine in 10-15 years. My last expensive laptop met an ignoble end after 4 years (logic board failure) so I am hoping this Pro will last longer.

My college computer lab had an extensive collection of G4 Macs. Back then Mac hadn't quite achieved critical mass in popularity so the Macs were usually deserted. I never bothered to buy a Mac in this era because I pretty much had free reign on the computers in the lab...meanwhile there were lines for the Windows machines!

One of these days I want to add a G4 Cube to my collection (with all relevant attachments) but I'm not in a big hurry. If I had more space and money, I'd probably become a more serious vintage collector. I've always been a great admirer of Apple computers.

Okay, well my English isn't that advanced then, thought of a phone case or something. The cabinet is an IKEA FABRIKÖR (link) ;) Very nice indeed, love the color too. I will install some LED lights in there from IKEA as well.

Thanks for this, which gives me something to think about with reference to displaying some of my Apple collectibles. Those which are not prominently exposed in different rooms around the house, are currently on a large bench in the garage - which doesn't do them justice. May well check out that IKEA case, although think I'd want another colour! Also not sure if my Apple 'financial adviser' (the wife) would immediately sign up to that $199 price tag.
I'll keep you all informed.........
