Back in June of 1977 I had Apple II Serial Number 2 for a few weeks. The
power supply failed and it when back to Apple. I never saw that unit again.
In January 2005 Bruce Damer visited Jef Raskin and saw this unit.
Here is a web page with about this unit.

The early Apple II power supplies had RFI problems. They were a radio
transmitter that also put out 5 volts.

Ha ha! Those power supplies were nothing -- Everybody in my
neighborhood could tell when I had my Compucolor II on -- TVs went
completely herringbone because there was no shielding whatsoever on any
part of them! My parents were absolute saints for putting up with it,
and I used it a LOT (when it wasn't shooting out smoke from the
badly-designed video display section...)
