A Virtual Museum of Original Apple 1 Computers

46 units positively identified to date!

Introduction

Apple 1's were clearly built in two main batches, though it is possible that there were further sub batches. The two main batches are identified by the PCB manufacturer. The first batch did not have the PCB manufacturer on the front copper layer of the board. The later batch had the label NTI on the front, etched in copper right under the "APPLE COMPUTER 1" logo. Each batch had a slightly different mix of components. This is an attempt to catalog known Apple 1s and provide basic details helpful in identification of each one. The earliest known owner or other unique attribute, will be used as the base identifier. If I can get permission to post an image, I will also provide a visual record of the motherboard.

Serial Numbers - NOT!!!

Some original Apple 1s are found with numbered labels or numbers written directly on the PCBs with a black marker. These are not serial numbers. According to Steve Jobs, those numbers were not placed on the units by Apple. I have an unconfirmed feeling that numbered stickers are inspection numbers used by the PCB manufacturer/assembler. An interesting fact is that there are two Apple 1's with stickers numbered 49 affixed to the back side. There is another set of boards with numbers written with black permanent markers on the back of the boards. Anecdotal evidence, by people that should know, are that those identifying numbers were added to the motherboards by Byte Shop(s).

If you have an original Apple 1 and want to contribute to this effort, drop me an email. Once I feel that your unit is likely to be authentic, and not a duplicate, it will be categorized into the batch that I believe that it would have come from and added to this registry. Upon request, I will withhold your name and personal information.

Be aware that not all originals are listed here. There are several existing Apple 1's that the compliers of this list are aware of, through word of mouth. However, no images (concrete evidence) has been seen, so they are left off the list.

Since Apple 1's change hands so frequently, there is some possibility that units could be listed twice in this list, especially those units without distinctive enclosures or quality images of the motherboard. I do my best to filter through available information in order to prevent this.

Warning

In the past, there has been at least one known attempt to sell a reproduction Apple 1, as an original. Reproductions are getting harder and harder to tell from originals. Some builders of reproduction Apple 1's have gone to the effort to find components with the same manufacturer and date code as were used on original Apple 1s. When these components could not be found, chips have even been relabeled to reflect date code correct parts. At this point, as far as we know, no hobbyist have done this to deceive potential purchasers, but the potential is there. There is also growing potential for people who have inherited a reproduction to accidentally misrepresent a reproduction as an original.

It is hoped that this list will be helpful in authenticating original units. Do to the increasing quality of reproductions, be aware that even the maintainers of this list could potentially be confused by a fake, which might end up on this list. If you are in the market for an original Apple 1, be extremely careful about what you are investing in.

Components:

Check out this Applefritter Post for an initial description of components used in at least 2 batches.
http://www.applefritter.com/node/24536#comment-59895

This is the beginning of a spreadsheet showing as much component information as can be determined for each unit.

WOZ's hand wired prototype (1 unit in this catagory)

Woz - first prototype

http://www.cedmagic.com/history/apple-1-2-steves.html
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul7NkLGtD84

At one time in Apple Computer's History display - Woz indicates that the current location is unknown
Steve used point to point soldered wiring rather than wire wrap because it was easier to follow the wiring once built up
It is possible that a second unit was built - Woz's memory is hazy about number he made.

First PCB Run (23 units in this catagory)

No NTI logo in the copper layer under the "Apple Compluter 1"

Liza Loop - # unknown

http://www.technologyreview.com/infotech/18658/

This is supposed to the the first production unit that was delivered to a customer.
Has a rare white 6820, but a non-whte 6502
Some notes from Liza about her Apple 1 (thanks to Cameron for passing this along)

"The missing memory chips may never have been there. Or, we may have
moved them to Apple II"
"I know I lent the original 6502 to a friend and he never gave it back
(probably in 1980 or so). The 6502 that is in it now was handed to me
at the Vintage Computer Festival at the Computer History Museum in Mt.
View, CA several years ago."
"This particular Apple I never worked reliably. I took it back to Woz
and complained that I couldn't use it in the classroom because it took
20 minutes to load BASIC and it crashed so often we couldn't do
anything in a 40 minute class period. He kept it for a couple of
months and then returned it with the jumpers you see on the back. When
it was still flaky he said he had a surprise for me and I should wait
a little longer."

The "cursed" Apple 1

http://pagesperso-orange.fr/fabrice.montupet/apple1.htm
http://silicium.org/site/
http://www.silicium.org/oldskool/apple/apple1.htm

Presently owned by Silicium, a museum type organization. Located in France
Here is the story of this unit

It comes from United States. The present owner has family living in the USA and they found it. It was around 1995 or 2000. The computer stayed in US for a while before they sent it to Silicium (the present owner). The old guy who gave it to the present owner's Uncle was working with the owner's Uncle in US Air Force (possibly at Beale) and was a radio hobbyist. He has since passed away. Also the present owner's Uncle has died, which makes the owners think that this computer is cursed.

The case was a sort of wooden wine box that was tossed out because of the lack of space. The keyboard doesn't seem to match (??). There is no cassette interface and the computer is not working. It seems like it was configured for a 6800 and that some chips are missing. Silicium was thinking of hidding a replica somewhere for exhibitions, but decided not too. The computer is regularly lent for exhibitions. It's "on a tour" for now, but when it comes back (in 2011), it may be put it in an other box.

To finish the story, Silicium found a beard hair on it which they think is from Woz's beard.

This first page reveals that the mysterious brackets on top of the case are intended to support a monitor (also seen on Smithsonian unit)

Byte Shop 01-005, Jean Louie Gassee's Apple 1

Jean was head of Apple's advanced product development and worldwide marketing at one time
Here is Craig Solomonson's story of this board

Craig Solomonson who worked at MECC was looking for an Apple 1 and during a meeting asked Steve Jobs if he could find an Apple 1. Steve replied that none were available. However, Steve's traveling secretary, Mike Murray, heard the conversation and took Craig aside. He gave Craig, Joe Torzewski's number and a few months later I traveled to Indiana and traded him a complete Apple II system with lots of software for my first Apple 1. It was one of the original batch built for the Byte Shop. Woz verified that for me. The Byte Shop has put their own serial number on the back in black ink....it was "01-0005." Joe had "01-0051" and it had been upgraded by Woz and was in a special case that he made. I had this computer for about 5 years. In about 1987, our family wanted a new van that cost about $20,000. Well, Jean Louie Gasse wanted my Apple 1 to hang in his office, so the deal was done. Apple bought it from me for him. My spin on this deal was, "Woz and jobs sold their van to finance the Apple 1. I sold my Apple 1 to finance my van!"

Bob Roth's Apple 1

I'll let Bob tell the story of this unit

"My name is Bob Roth. I bought an Apple 1 computer at a computer store in Orange County, California in the late 1970's. I paid $40.00 for the circuit board which included the audio interface board. They had 2 Apple 1's there, but the other one didn't have the audio board with it. And besides, who needed more than one computer anyway?

I constructed the case that is shown in the photos. I mounted the mother board on a piece of 1/4 inch aluminum and then built the rest of the case out of mahogany. My Dad owned a plastic engraving company at the time so I had him engrave the front panels for me.The ASCII keyboard was a Radio Shack kit that you had to solder the keys onto a circuit board. I added more RAM memory for a total of 20K. I did this by stacking the 4K RAM chips on top of each other, bent out the chip select line from the chip, and then constructed a address decoder in the prototype area of the mother board. I also printed out the BASIC program code using a PR-40 printer that I had and then blew the code into PROMS. I constructed a circuit board with the PROMS on it that attached to the second connector at the rear of the main board. From then on I could start BASIC by just typing the E000R command. The display was a black and white TV that my Mother had. I had planned to do more mods to the computer like a data and address display along with single step capabilities, but never finished it.

By this time, (1981) Apple 2's were everywhere. There was a new Apple store opening up in Riverside, California where I lived. They knew I had built my Apple 1 and asked me to display it for the grand opening of the store. Steve Jobs was to be the featured guest for the opening of the new store. Jobs saw my computer and was asking me some questions about it. He then asked me if I would like to trade it for a new Apple 2 computer, with a disk drive and the Pascal language system. About $2000.00 worth of computer at the time. He said Woz would love to have it back. I was in college at the time and had no money. And I really wanted a new Apple 2. So I made the deal. He gave me his business card and told me to call his secretary and have her set up the trade. I took my Apple 1 to Apple in Cupertino. They escorted me into the building and into a conference room. They had a release form already printed up and ready for me to sign. So I left my Apple 1 there. I still have the Apple 2. Obviously not the smartest move I ever made.

So I have a question. Have you seen this Apple 1 anywhere? I saw a picture of it on the Dot Eaters German web site http://www.8bit-museum.de/ but that's about it. There was also a picture of it in the old A+ magazine years ago. I'm just curious who wound up with it."

Historic Units (3 units in this catagory)

Units seen in historic images

Apple 1 in advertisement #1- one with white 6502 and 6820

http://www.macmothership.com/gallery/gallery1.html

It is not known if this units still exists.
The close up image of the board was provided by Wendell Sander, who found it in his stash of old Apple stuff. It is apparently the same image as used in the ad. The original picture is sharp enough to easily read all the date codes on the chips. This board is unique in that it doesn't have the NTI logo on the PCB, but it has the same caps as used on later NTI boards. The white 2513 is a GI part. The 2504 data codes are later than some first run boards. This is probably a board built espcially for the advertisment as no known board has this combination of components.
This and Liza Loop's machine are only units known to exist with a white 6820. However Liza's has ceramic disk capacitors, and this one doesn't, so they are clearly two different machines.

Apple 1 in advertisement and photographs #2- the one with white 6502

http://www.macmothership.com/gallery/gallery1.html

This is a fairly common configuration and a number of pictures show the Steve's holding a unit of this configuration.
It is not known if any of these units still exists and because of the common configuration it would be hard to confirm.

Stanford University

Supposedly, an Apple 1 PCB that was donated along with a lot of Apple Computer, Inc., historical items and documents in 1997
The donation documents says that it is dated 1977, which made it likely that it is actually an Apple II.
I've had it confirmed by the librarians at Stanford that the copyright date is 1977 and this is an Apple II rev 0. The interesting thing is that this is a bare Apple II rev 0 PCB, one of two that I know of. The other was auctioned off by the Huston brothers, at the same time that they sold one of their Apple 1s.

Example original Apple 1 Systems seen on Ebay

I've decided to log the ending prices of those auctions I've noticed on this page.
