Before the laptop, before Apple took off, there was Lee Felsenstein. As the legendary moderator of the Homebrew Computer Club and designer of the Osborne 1 (the first commercial mass-produced portable computer), he didn't just build the tools—he changed the rules.

Just pulled this out of storage

I found the box sitting on a shelf. I actually bought this new in 1976 and programmed it for a while. It was my first microcomputer.

I recall putting it away when the power supply failed so I don't know if it will still power up. Is there a safe way to test it, and what is a Rev F KIM-1 with all manuals in the original box worth these days, working or not?
