Rare First Generation Apple Computer Model 'Apple-1' Found at Recycling Center


The "Apple Computer 1" was the very first Apple computer, and only 200 was made and hand-assembled in 1976. A recycling center in Silicon Valley recently got a nice surprise when they found one of these rare gems:


A recycling center in Silicon Valley is looking for a mystery woman who unknowingly dropped off a rare, first-generation Apple computer that fetched $200,000 at a private auction.


The woman was reportedly cleaning her late husband’s garage when she came across the Apple I, Apple’s first computer that was hand-assembled by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ron Wayne in 1976. The computer came with just 4KB of memory, and originally sold for $600. Only about 200 of this model was ever made.


They are currently looking for the woman, who unfortunately didn't want a tax receipt and never left them with her contact information. If she's found, she will get 50 percent of the proceeds when the computer is sold at auction.
