I read that the factory made Macintosh XL's has a Macintosh XL nameplate. However, I have never seen one, nor have I been able to locate an image of one.

Has anyone seen one?

I've never seen - nor heard - of one.

I saw it mentioned here:


All of the above may bear a Macintosh XL name plate, but only the last one may be a factory made one (or field upgraded), as the name plate was separate available for licensed dealers.

I'm thinking their recall was incorrect. I looked all over and it just didn't seem to exist.

Apple rebranded the Lisa and released the Macintosh XL on January 1, 1985. The Macintosh XL did not have a front name badge. It did not have any label on the case that identified as "Macintosh XL," but there were labels of the model and serial numbers affixed on the bottom.
