    Description

    This is your chance to own a piece of computing history. While not as well known or seen as often as its successor model, the original LaserWriter has the distinction of being one of the first commercially available laser printers ever. Together with WYSIWYG functionality from the Macintosh and simple to setup AppleTalk networking, you end up with just the right ingredients for the revolution in desktop publishing that we take for granted today. The outer case done by legendary industrial designer Hartmut Esslinger turns this highly functional object into a piece of sculpture, like a Snow White-styled Brancusi (seriously). To whoever ends up acquiring this machine, I hope that, in whatever capacity possible, you can give it the attention and admiration it so clearly deserves.
    Note: being offered for sale is the
    printer with included toner cartridge only
    , without any other accessories. As functionality cannot be determined, it is being
    sold AS IS, with no returns.
