Apple-1 Computer Prototype Board #0 sold for $2.75M (rrauction.com)

WTF is a "computer-rated" capacitor?

Sick, now loan it to Computer History Museum so I can have a look

If I was a billionaire I hope I’d buy artifacts like this and donate them for posterity. This is a really cool piece of history.

I need that "RUB OUT" key on my keyboard

Someone needs to create a Fallout 4 module that has the vibe of “Citizen Kane”.

I’ve got an Apple II I’ll take 500k ;)

Apple 1 launch price $600. Googles ai said 1k investment at 1980's IPO worth 2.5m today. So if you invested 600 that is 1.5m. It would have sat idle 1976 to 1980.

So board #0 beat the stock price but only just. And I am comparing board 0 to any old apple 1.

$2.75m??? How does Apple get away with these prices?

The schematic diagram features an interesting Apple logo that I've never seen before. I've always been told that the old-timey one on the cover of the manual was the only logo predating the six colors one with the bite out of it.

Does anyone know the history of the previous owners?

Has definite corrosion, maybe needs a recap, and untested. I'm guessing it's sold as "parts / as-is / no refund". ;) I'd like to see it restored and made usable with a custom wooden case appropriate for an Apple-I.

(I buy a lot of 90's-era vintage computer components, so this is another 20 years older and predates my existence. I'm sad that when I met Woz when I was 5 when his castle house v1.0 had just finished construction, I wasn't told who he was and didn't get to see his computer gear; I was probably too distracted by the steepness of Harwood Rd being suitable for maximum skateboard and bicycle velocity.)

Just been reading iWoz by the man himself which goes into details on the design of the Apple-1

Worth a read if you like electronics and computers and written in an engaging style.
