Apple Service Level 1 The Macintosh Office Technical Procedures 072-0163 April 1985
The Macintosh Office Technical Procedures, Apple part number 072-0163, is Apple's Level 1 service binder for the Macintosh Office, Apple's 1985 grouping of the Macintosh, the LaserWriter and the AppleTalk Personal Network.
