It was originally made by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak as a bare circuit board to be sold as a kit and completed by electronics hobbyists, their initial market being Palo Alto’s Homebrew Computer Club.
Bobby Livingston, of RR Auction, said “Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and the company that they created together made the ugly and unappealing world of technology elegant and beautiful, bringing it mainstream, to the masses and infinitely making the world a better place to live.”
“This is the machine that launched Apple Computer, a company that would define an industry and was recently able to achieve a USD 1 trillion valuation milestone,” he added.
The computer was restored to its original and operational state in June 2018 by Apple-1 expert Corey Cohen.
