Macintosh TV
Floppy and CD-ROM confirmed working. Logic board and analog board recapped.
Historical Context
The first and only all-black Mac Apple ever sold commercially. Only 10,000 were made, in a four-month production run from October 1993 to February 1994. A real cable television tuner let you watch TV through your computer — an idea so ahead of its time that Apple couldn't explain it or market it. Today it is among the most sought-after compact Macs.
