| Video Discription | Specialty Auction on 24 November 2012 at AUCTION TEAM BREKER, Koeln/Cologne, Germany (www.breker.com) Original »Apple 1 Computer«, 1976 This is the sensational 1st product of today's highestvalued company (approx. 600 billion US$) ever. -- The »Apple 1« was designed and built by Steve Wozniak in the famous 'electronical heaven' of "Silicon Valley", USA, and was marketed in April 1976 by Wozniak and Steve Jobs through an electronics retail chain, the 'Byte Shop', which bought the first 50 units. -- The »Apple 1« was always delivered as a motherboard only and is seen here with the very rare original 'NTI' sign. The peripheral equipment such as power pack, keyboard, monitor and cassette recorder had to be obtained personally by the user. »Apple« never offered a housing; every user had to make his own. -- The »Apple 1« was the 1st PC in the world with monitor and keyboard access! -- The peripheral items are authentic and correspond to the motherboard; the power pack has the same 'transformer' which was on the market in 1976 and which was recommended by »Apple«. The keyboard is a 'Datanetics ASCII' always suggested by »Apple« for the »Apple 1« and later also used for the »Apple 2«. -- The monitor is a b/w video control set by Sanyo as normally used by »Apple 1« owners. -- The cassette recorder, recommended by »Apple«, is an original 'Panasonic 2102 Recorder'. -- Only 200 examples of the »Apple 1« were ever made. According to the top-rated 'Apple 1 Registry' by Mike Willegal, today there are only 43 sets in existance worldwide, but just 6 of these are in fullyworking condition, and the example offered here is one of those! We prepared a 7-minute video demonstration which you can find on YouTube.com/Auction TeamBreker -- The demo shows the direct input into the WOZ-monitor: The »Apple 1« did not have an operating system, just a so-called "monitor" program which provided the interface between keyboard entry -- CPU -- memory and monitor exit. Any more sophisticated software system -- like 'Basic' -- had to be loaded on cassettes. Therefore, a cassette-interface-card was required which was offered by »Apple« optionally. The present set contains a modern replica card and the software cassettes are authentic reproductions too. -- 'Basic' was available for the »Apple 1« at the beginning of 1977 only. In February 1977 »Apple« changed their first logo depicting Isaac Newton under a 'paradisical' apple tree to the one which is still used today. The documentation ('Apple 1 Manual') included here still shows the primary logo; this documentation copy corresponds with the original one and the manual and schematic plan show the original signatures of Steve Wozniak. -- To date, the only fully-working »Apple 1 set« in very similar condition as this one here, was auctioned in New York in June 2012 for US$ 374,500.- (http://www. macrumors.com/2012/06/15/functioning-apple-1-sellsfor- 375000-at-sothebys-auction/) -- The provenance of this »Apple 1« unit has been known of and documented since 1993. The former vendor has framed and numbered this set and 3 others. -- The current vendor has offered to set up, install and put it into operation anywhere in the world in exchange of his expenses. -- This »Apple 1« set on offer here is 100 % authentic and in full working condition! -- Already a legendary milestone from the dynamic dawn of the personal computer age! 4l8i_xOBTPg |
