Apple-1 Computer from Apple Employee Dana Redington - From the 'Trade-In' Pile in Steve Jobs' Office, Gifted by Jobs and Woz to Apple's First Applications Engineer Sought-after 'NTI'-style Apple-1 computer (also commonly known as the Apple I, or Apple Computer 1) restored to full functionality, complete with all components and accessories required for operation. This board comes from the collection of early Apple employee Dana Redington, who has owned it since early 1978. Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance from Redington, explaining that the Apple-1 was given to him by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak: "In early 1978, while preparing for a move to a new building, I noticed a pile of soon-to-be-discarded Apple I boards. Apple had offered a trade-in program for upgrading to the Apple II to help phase out the older board. With Wozniak and Jobs' permission, I selected the best motherboard and a couple of cassette interface cards from the pile." Prior this auction, this board was 'undiscovered' to the Apple collecting community and has never been offered for sale; it is now logged as #104 in the Apple-1 Registry. The set includes: • original Apple-1 'NTI' board, with label annotated "4062" • original Apple Cassette Interface (ACI) board • period Cherry mechanical keyboard (circa 1974) with Apple-1 compatible interface cable • linear power supply wired for an Apple-1 based on two Triad transformers (F31-X and F40X) mounted on a wooden frame • modern Insignia LCD TV/video monitor with Apple-1 compatible video cable • detailed letter of provenance from Dana Redington, discussing his employment at Apple and his receipt of this board • Dana Redington's Apple Computer business card, listing the address as 20863 Stevens Creek Blvd. in Cupertino • Original photograph of Dana Redington and Steve Wozniak posing with the Datsun 280ZX, license plate "APPLEII," used in a 1983 TV commercial This Apple-1 computer was restored and brought to an operational state in June 2024 by Apple-1 expert Corey Cohen. Upon initial visual inspection, this Apple-1 was missing or had damage to components including all integrated circuit chips, PROMs, 'Big Blue' capacitors, three regulators, four power diodes, a crystal oscillator, and various other components. Cohen made all board-level repairs using new old stock components; where available, all socketed components were replaced with period-correct and manufacturer-correct components. In the process, Cohen prepared a comprehensive technical report documenting the condition and restoration of the board, as well as a 'proof of life' video demonstrating its functionality, which are available to qualified bidders. In his report, Cohen notes that the condition of the board supports the notion that it comes from the "trade-in pile which has been documented by other early Apple employees as being located in Steve Jobs’ office," as the board's ceramic capacitors exhibit some cosmetic marring "likely from being in the 'pile' of Apple-1 boards in Steve Jobs’ office where another Apple-1 board placed on top of this board had its IC socket legs contacting." The Apple-1 was originally conceived by Steve Jobs and Steve ‘Woz’ 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. Seeking a larger audience, Jobs approached Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world. Aiming to elevate the computer beyond the realm of the hobbyist, Terrell agreed to purchase 50 Apple-1 computers, but only if they were fully assembled. The Apple-1 thus became one of the first ‘personal’ computers which did not require soldering by the end user. All together, over a span of about ten months from 1976-77, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers, selling 175 of them. Building on that success, they introduced the Apple II in June 1977, which became one of the world's first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products. Dana Redington joined Apple Computer after visiting Steve Wozniak—a former neighbor and fellow graduate of Cupertino's Homestead High School—in April 1977 at the 'Good Earth building' on Stevens Creek Boulevard to demonstrate some programs he had written. Woz introduced Dana to Mike Markkula who immediately offered him a job. He was the company's first applications software engineer, developing programs for the Apple II. Redington reflects: 'I developed several demonstration programs, including a hands-free, eye-controlled version of Breakout using face electrodes, and a Star Wars-inspired program that highlighted the Apple II's high-resolution color graphics, animation, sound, and custom fonts. Woz showed it to Steve Jobs, but Jobs, not being a programmer, didn't see much value in it at the time.' In a 2013 interview with

Apple Computer Working Typescript of 'So Far: The First Ten Years of a Vision,' with Sealed First Edition and Letter from Apple Production Manager Fascinating group lot of items related to the production of the 1987 book So Far: The First Ten Years of a Vision, which was published to commemorate the company’s 10th anniversary. The lot includes a bracket-bound 66-page working typescript of the book, with the front cover marked "X" in red felt tip; a hardcover first edition sealed in its original cellophane wrapper; and a printed copy of a typed letter from Apple production manager Dennis Gobets, dated September 21, 1987, with the memo title “Recap of expenses incurred by publishing the ‘So Far’ book," which begins with a quote from an irate Steve Jobs: “What the fuck happened.” In his letter, Gobets touches on several aspects of the book’s publication, including its unusual production timeline (“Why did we choose a somewhat different method? Because we had less than 3 months to write, design, print and deliver our book. This is unheard of in the book publishing world”), the standard book production process (“Step 1. Somebody writes a manuscript. Step 2. Somebody else edits it. Step 3. The publisher brings in his legal beagles to make certain his chances of getting sued by the subjects of the book are slim”), and finishing touches (“I started to round up potential publishers who could meet our timeframe and quality standards. The stated timeframe was mid-April to mid-May, after rejecting the idea of delivering for the Shareholders’ Meeting in mid-January”). In overall fine condition.

By normal standards, we have done well. We’ve grown another Apple in one year.” Sculley: “We don’t want to come out and talk about it in print. Ala Osborne. We would like to show how Lisa technology can even trickle down into Apple 2, by featuring the Mouse. Sculley wants to show the Apple 2 with a Mouse.” Strategic Vision and Apple’s Mission: Sculley: “We want to market high-cost technology and translate it into our products for individuals in a low-cost high-quality easy-to-use fashion. This technology statement is so critical that will make whatever investment at the expense of short-term results.” Jobs: “Last year - we haven’t lost our spirit. And we are sophisticated.” Jobs: “This year - one long letter from the President and the Chairman. No glossy ‘people’ photographs, etc. No ‘Gentleman Quarterly’ shit.” In fine condition.

IKEDA AYAOKA: A SURIMONO DEPICTING TWENTY-NINE SHEETS WITH POEMS AND CALENDAR DATES IKEDA AYAOKA: A SURIMONO DEPICTING TWENTY-NINE SHEETS WITH POEMS AND CALENDAR DATES By Ikeda Ayaoka (1817-1887), signed Ayaoka Japan, 1868 Color woodblock print on paper. Signed Ayaoka. The surimono depicting several scattered sheets decorated with foliate motifs and poems, all enclosed within a green broder. SIZE of the sheet 27.4 x 20 cm Condition: Good condition with minor wear. Minor browning of paper, few stains, soiling, dark spots, and folds. Gently mounted on a cardboard with a descriptive label. Provenance: From the private collection of Thomas Padua, Mühldorf, Germany. Thomas Padua was an artist and collector of Japanese woodblock prints who exhibited his surimono collection at the Olaf Gulbransson Museum, in ‘Glückwünsche aus Kyoto: Japanische Shijo-Surimono aus der Sammlung Thomas Padua,’ 3 November 2013 to 26 January 2014. Surimono, literally "printed matter", are high-quality, limited-edition, privately commissioned, woodblock-printed "greeting cards," mainly produced between the 1790s and the 1830s, and usually ordered for New Year's greetings. Surimono usually paired poetic texts with images, and both were typically intended to carry the cachet of "insider knowledge" for a cultured and well-educated audience. Museum comparison: Compare to another print by Ikeda Ayaoka in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, accession number 11.23025.
