The so-called"Chaffey College" Apple-1 is one of only 200 made by Jobs and Wozniak at the very start of the company's odyssey from garage start-up to megalith worth $2 trillion. Jobs and Wozniak mostly sold Apple-1s as component parts. One computer shop that took delivery of around 50 units decided to encase some of them in wood, the auction house said.
John Moran Auctioneers said the device, which was sold with a 1986 Panasonic video monitor, has only ever had two owners.
