apple iii monitor / display – vintage apple hardware Description Original apple iii monitor offered from a private enthusiast’s collection. this display powers on and shows an image as visible in the photos, but it has not been further tested. no guarantees beyond what is shown, so bid accordingly. if you’re expecting a fully serviced, restored unit, this is not that—this is honest, untouched vintage hardware. Production period / background the apple III was introduced in 1980 and discontinued around 1984. this monitor dates from the early 1980s, making it over 40 years old. it was designed specifically to match the apple iii system and differs from earlier apple ii displays in styling and signal compatibility. The apple III itself was a short-lived and ambitious machine from Apple, aimed at business users rather than hobbyists. because of its limited production run and well-known reliability issues at the time, surviving original peripherals—especially displays—are not common today. that scarcity is the real value here, not mythical “museum condition”. Why this matters – correct period hardware for an apple iii setup – early 1980s apple industrial design – increasingly hard to source original monitors – attractive to collectors who value authenticity over refurbishment The monitor comes from a genuine apple collector who has cared for it over the years. it has been stored indoors and handled with respect. cosmetically in used but presentable condition, consistent with its age. This is a great opportunity for collectors: an Apple III setup from Apple. apple III hardware is scarce, and original displays are getting harder to find every year. Condition – powers on and works as shown in photos – not further tested – sold as-is Shipping The monitor will be very well packed with care and proper protection to ensure safe transport. shipping will be done professionally and responsibly.
