Description

Rework connecting PIA to proto area with multi-color ribbon cable.
No number sticker on the back.
According to the auction text from 2010, the motherboard was modified by Steve Wozniak to add an interface for a potentiometer and two tapes. The potentiometer was used as a paddle. The seller guessed that it was used for the game Breakout.
The name of this Apple-1 was changed in 2021 from 'Nexon Museum' to 'Hattfield.' Hattfield was the first owner, and this name is always the first choice.


History

The original owner of the Apple-1 on sale was Fred Hatfield, not the former major league baseball player. In 2013, an auction house made a wrong statement about a former football player. The original owner was able to prove that it was his Apple-1 and that he is not the baseball player.
eBay Auction 320585219846, Sept 10, 2010. Sold for US\$ 22,766.66 from someone in Chicago, USA. 23 bids. It was sold by an avid vintage computer collector.
This one was sold to the same collector who purchased the Huston Brothers eBay auction 160413355114.
Traded to another collector for a Cray 1.
Brought up to operational state and auctioned at Sotheby's for \$374,500 on 6/15/2012.
