Description

According to Living Computer Museums curator: Functioning Apple-1 on display at Living Computers: Museum + Labs. Motherboard Copyright 1976 and black plastic 6502 microprocessor date stamped 1977.
2016. This computer has been restored to functionality, and was on display in the museum since April 15, 2017 till 2019. It is enclosed in a clear case, with a Koyo monitor and unknown keyboard (with a replacement National Semiconductor MM5740AAE/N keyboard encoder chip). This computer was originally enclosed in a custom Koa wood case. Visitors can try out Woz Basic on this computer. No handwritten number on the back.

Theory: On top you can see some little of the conformal coating is missing. My theory is, there was a label. Many NTI boards got exactly at his poisition a sticker with 4062 for unknown reason.
