Despite the crazy high price - I must say I am very
impressed with the
original box, even the original sales receipt, now THAT is a nice

Question - I've never seen the bottom of an Apple 1 - are those jumper
wires original "fix" wires to the board or did someone do some repair
work on the board?

Out of curiosity, the listing mentions that "(btw, When Steve Wozniak saw
this unit he told me that the first batches of Apple 1's used a brand of
chip they later replaced? because they blew out easily.? He said those chips
were on this unit, which is probably why the unit didn't boot in the
mid-80s.)"
Anyone know what's this is about? I also didn't notice anything that says it
actually works. If fact, the above implies that it doesn't.
