Apple 1 Registry Updated – One of Which May be Myth Destroying

This update is way past due, I had knowledge of some of the new units since last fall. Three new Apple 1’s are listed. The most interesting is number 1-0052,owned by James Coble. His story seems to shatter the myth that the Byte Shop, not Apple, added the serial numbers on the units in the first batch. There were some issues with that story before, but this information seems to completely shatter it. I have a sent a query out to some experts to see if they can comment on what James has to say. Stay tuned for an update.

Another interesting note is that the unit that was sold on ebay is reported to be going to Germany. The world-wide market for Apple 1 continues to be stronger than the domestic US market. I think the Ford Museum purchase might have been an anomaly.

Lastly, I’m pretty skeptical about the report from the bay area about an Apple 1 being given to a recycler. That unit is not going to get mention in the registry until far more concrete details (like a picture) are revealed.
