UPDATE: I heard back from the Woz, this case for the first Apple-1 was custom built by Randy Wigginton's father. Woz does not know where this computer ended up, but the photo is precious to him. He confirmed that this is indeed the first Apple-1 that he built.

nope, this is the one Randy's father made

Woz,
Ok, my understanding was that Randy's father built the nicer looking brown case that is in the Smithsonian. The Triumph of the Nerds documentary made it sound as if you put this first Apple 1 case together yourself.
thanks again,
John

SECOND UPDATE: I recall Woz telling me he thought this one *might* be in storage somewhere... so it may be that this one actually lives in the ground in Santa Clara (think band-saws, bulldozers, and junk-yards). :D
THIRD UPDATE: I saw this some time ago.... I must be getting old... I don't know of any other pictures of the first hand-wired Apple-1, although there must be a few.
Thanks for your time Woz!
