Well, I've had one of Vince Briel's Apple I replica kits (the Replica 1 TE aka Third Edition) since 2008, and I'm probably not going to build it (apt too small, and too many other projects), so here it is for sale. I have:

  • Replica 1 TE unbuilt. (According to Vince's email from 2008, it's actually TE board #1, the first kit he shipped out). All the parts are there (I just double checked)
  • CFFA1 compact flash interface, with 64MB CF card, bought it prebuilt, never used.
  • Apple II power supply, model 605-5703, outputs +5v 2.5A, +12v 1.5A, -5v 0.25A, -12v 0.25A
  • Nice composite video cable - gold plated! Whoo-hoo!
Photos are linked here.

Asking US $250. Located in San Francisco, CA. Can ship either USPS or UPS.

I hope that this finds a good home... that said, I think I would ebay it if I were you. It's likely to go much higher than the $250 asking price, and why not use any profits to reinvest in your other projects (or just stow away for a rainy day?)

Good luck with your sale!
 
That *IS* pretty cool with the potential serial :) I've often debated whether or not to build mine. On some side I sorta enjoy having the unbuilt kit as well.

You should build it. I use mine quite a bit to test white ceramic 6502's and 6820 chips.
 
Briel's here if he see's this or if someone that actually built it is here ;-) Like most of his systems he gives you the valuable serial port/input so you can upload bin files to the device for running vs having to hand type things in. I think I recall there being a basic for it but the documentation download I think is the entire CD which is great but I don't want to sift through right now ;-)

To Corey, I have other systems I can test the processors in but yeah I did always feel guilty not building it. I at least did get to attend one of his classes and build the microkim though.
 
On a genuine Apple I, BASIC was loaded off of cassette tape (the Apple BASIC tape was included with purchase of the cassette interface, a $72 option at the time.)

Reading the Replica I manual, space was set aside in EEPROM specifically to hold BASIC, so it should be included.

EDIT: PM'd Soupwizard, I'm interested in your Replica I kit. For anyone looking for just the Apple I CFFA, Rich Dreher is running off another run of 200.
 
I do want to build it, but lately I'm spending all my time and money on N8VEM z-80 stuff, and I'm in a small apartment so I need to chose carefully about what I keep (I used to have 3 10x10 storage units, now down to one partially empty 10x10). Realistically I'd build it and show it to a couple of friends and then put it on a shelf, so I'd rather someone who *really* wants to build it do so. And I could use the money for the z-80's.

@Maverick1978, yeah I will put it up on ebay tonight starting at $250 - if I put a picture of Steve Jobs and Woz in the listing who knows what it will sell for! :p If it doesn't sell there, I have a couple of good offers here for less than $250 already. If someone's going to get a good deal on it, I'd rather they be someone here in the VCF community rather than listing it for cheap on ebay.
