Even if the wood looks good after some time, the client should be aware that any future wood to concrete contact should be protected by a plastic barrier. If an inspector sees framing in a basement that has no plastic barrier under it, they should inform the purchaser of this situation. That is why anyone finishing a basement, no matter what age, should always place a plastic barrier under the wood.

It is a continuous action of moisture.Įven if a plastic barrier is placed under the concrete before a pour, it will over years, wick some small amounts of moisture. Most times if you see a concrete floor painted, the paint will eventually lift off in some places. Concrete, even on gravel, will wick a small amount of moisture out of the soil it is placed on over the years. One of the biggest areas that concrete is poured, is a basement. I have worked with concrete and masonry over 25 years and have seen this millions of times. It just can’t be from the initial pour alone IMHO. It might have to do with its ability to act like a desiccant, adsorbing water out of the air like a sponge and then keeping the wood in contact wet. Rare as they are, one or two of the machines typically come up for auction each year.There has to be something more to it than just the water from the initial pour.

The rest of us have to settle for replica manuals and boards. New bidders may be asked to provide additional financial information including a deposit or proof of funds. To bid on this lot, a bid limit increase must be requested. If you’re one of the few with the desire and funds to place a bid, you’ll need to prove it to the auctioneers. This computer will be included in the official registry of Apple-1 computers by the name “Chaffey College Apple-1.”Īt the time of writing, the machine had attracted only one bid of $200K, but that’s likely to quickly change: the estimated final price is in the $400-600K range.

The lot is accompanied by a bound copy of the professional authentication and condition report and a proof of life DVD.

This Apple-1 has recently undergone an extensive authentication, restoration, and evaluation process by one of the foremost experts in the field, who inspected all components and generated a full condition report for the Apple-1. It was originally purchased by an electronics professor at Chaffey College in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, who then sold it to his student in 1977. The Apple-1 Computer on offer has only had two owners. There are only six known examples of the Koa wood case in existence, and this unit is one of them. In the 1970s, Koa wood was abundant and easily accessible, especially on the west coast because it was native to Hawaii, but due to cattle grazing and extensive logging, the Koa tree is now considered much rarer and more expensive. The wooden case that houses this computer is made from Koa wood. Jobs defended his delivery by pointing out that each box included all necessary elements to compose the machine and further convinced Terrell that ByteShop could make a profit by selling keyboards, monitors, and power supplies within their store as an opportunity to upsell the product. He anticipated 50 all-in-one units that could simply be plugged in by the consumer, an unheard-of concept at the time. When Jobs delivered the 50 Magazine boxes each containing an Apple-1 kit, Paul Terrell was not happy. 50 of the 175 computers were sold to Paul Terrell, owner of ByteShop in Mountain View, California. 175 of them were sold for $666.66, a figure that catered to Wozniak’s love of repeating numbers. Of these, just six ended up in casings made from Koa wood …Ģ00 Apple-1 computers were designed by Steve Wozniak and assembled and tested by Steve Jobs, Patty Jobs (his sister), and Daniel Kottke in the Jobs’ home. Of the 200 computers made, 50 of them were sold through ByteShop as bare boards that required customers to add their own cases, keyboards, monitors, and power supplies. Yep, it’s time for another Apple-1 computer auction, and this one claims to be more special than most. Update: The computer sold for $400k, though the buyer had to pay a total of $500k with the hefty 25% buyer’s premium.
