RR Auction has something amazing for sale at the moment: an Apple I built for the Byte Shop.
The auction page has more details:
Well-preserved and fully functional ‘Byte Shop’–style Apple-1 computer (also commonly known as the Apple I, or Apple Computer 1), complete with all components and accessories required for operation, housed in a unique Smith-Corona typewriter case modified to fit the Apple-1.
This remarkable Apple-1, marked “01-0066” on the reverse side in security marker, is a highly original 8K system from the second batch of 50 Apple-1 computers produced and sold. While the marking alone does not establish that the computer was originally sold directly by The Byte Shop, the system displays several important Byte Shop–style characteristics, including its stock-number marking, its 8K configuration, and its original Datanetics Rev D keyboard with custom wired Apple-1 cable—the same keyboard-and-cable arrangement seen on known Byte Shop Apple-1 systems.
The set includes:
- original Apple-1 board, marked with Byte Shop stock number “01-0066”
- original Apple Cassette Interface (ACI) board
- Smith-Corona Electra 120 Typewriter case (modified for Apple-1)
- Apple-1 Power supply (Stancor P8380, Radio Shack 273-1512)
