History

Purchased from Adam Schoolsky by LCF group (David Larsen) in 1994.
David Larsen wrote. "I have purchased it from Adam Schoolsky - He told me he was the second employee of Apple -- Could be as Woz mentions him in his book Woz - the computer was giving to him by Woz and when I purchased it I really got a lot of additional neat Apple artifacts. The computer has never had chips in it and it is just like new and most likley the only one like it -- I mean never loaded with chips. I have letters and lots of other docs from Adam as well."
