Why? In the photos of the monitor attached to the

a video problem that I ran into when I built my Repro Apple 1. It's an
array of small dots across the entire monitor screen. I wanted to
contact the owner to provide my bit of insight on the problem.
Interesting! I too saw this issue on an Apple-1 I brokered a couple years
back. If you turn down the contrast or something it seems to go away.
What is your fix?
Does anyone know the Japanese owner(s) of Apple
1('s)?
I have one in my registry. He bought the first Apple-1 I brokered in 2000
(at VCF 4.0).
At one time I only had the last name of an owner who
had two Apple 1's.
Could it be him?
This particular Japanese owner has two, so maybe/probably. His name is
Yumoto Hirohisa. This is public knowledge, by the way, his story having
been written about in Christine Finn's book, _Artifacts: An
Archaeologist's Year in Silicon Valley_.
Does anyone have photos of a Japanese owner with his
Apple 1?
In fact, there's one in the book :)
I have extra copies available for sale or trade (I think they cost me $20
or so).
