 Great idea!  Insinuate that it may (or may not) be an Apple-1.  Why, I'll
 bet you could get $2,550 for it! 
NO WAY that that i8s an Apple-1.
'course it MIGHT be Woz's unsuccessful prototype foe a "Blue Box"

Hi
 It looks like some kind of data compare. It shows + and -
and has an adder to create the result. I'd guess it was use
to balance something. It might have been two digital signals

 from two A/D's or something like that. It is
obviously a "One-Of" type unit. Most likely made for a production test or
something
like that.
 Even if one traced the circuit, one might never know its
original use.
