It is about preservation and history, not investment. I value history, but I do not wish to live in the past. My eyes remain on the future.
My private collection currently includes the following eight original Apple-1 computers:
'#1 Copson Apple‑1',
'#2 Dryden Apple‑1',
'#3 Duston-2 Apple‑1',
'#4 Heathcott / Lee Apple‑1',
'#5 Reinemer Apple‑1',
'#6 Flatiron Apple‑1',
'#7 Burr Apple‑1',
'#8 Scardino Apple‑1'.
The Apple-1 collection also includes numerous manuals, advertisements, cassette tapes, an original Byte Shop case, an original shipping box, original invoices, receipts, correspondence and business cards. It also includes monitors, keyboards, power supplies, cables, magazines and other items from the period.
These original Apple-1 computers were once part of my private collection and are listed here for historical completeness: '#9 Dreike Apple‑1', #10 Computer Closet Apple-1.
My collection of vintage computers is not limited to Apple computers. It also includes a large collection of other vintage computers, including the very first prototype of the Kenbak-1 computer. Please contact me if you have computers made before 1984 to offer.
