Thre is no "original" Apple 1 case. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Maginnis [mailto:celt@chisp.net] Sent: Thursday, June 24, 1999 11:47 AM To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers Subject: Re: 70's sheet metal cases Well, I think I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one - the motherboard itself was mounted on a square of sheet metal which was screwed into a real wood casing. Extra pieces of sheet metal were added to the inside of later versions of the Apple 1 to improve durability and lifespan, but the case itself was wood, not metal. If the Apple 1 featured in those pics has a metal case with contact paper stuck over it, then it's a replica, not an original.
