According to the Living Computers Museum curator: Functioning Apple-1 on display at Living Computers: Museum + Labs. Motherboard copyright 1976 and black plastic 6502 microprocessor date-stamped 1977.
2016\. This computer has been restored to functionality and was on display in the museum from April 15, 2017, until 2019. It is enclosed in a clear case, with a Koyo monitor and an unknown keyboard (with a replacement National Semiconductor MM5740AAE/N keyboard encoder chip). This computer was originally enclosed in a custom Koa wood case. Visitors can try out Woz Basic on this computer. No handwritten number on the back.
Theory: On top, you can see that some of the conformal coating is missing. My theory is that there was a label. Many NTI boards have a sticker with “4062” at exactly this position for an unknown reason.
Purchased from Paul Allen in 2005. On exhibit at “STARTUP!” New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, Nov. 18, 2006 – December 31, 2016. From April 15, 2017, until 2019, on display at Living Computers: Museum + Labs.
The heatsink and LM323K were missing in early pictures from the Living Computers Museum, but they were restored to working order.
Sold at Christie's auction in September 2024 for US\$352,800. Despite the information provided by the auction house, it has no serial number, the case is not made of koa wood, and there was no mention of it being one of the few Byte Shop cases. Otherwise, the auction result might have been much higher.
