Re: $200,000 each?
That would be a fun thought exercise: what would one have to do to make a fake antique computer?
1. You would need a known-genuine Apple 1, for reference.
2. You would have to hunt down components. That sounds very possible.
3. Materials... is that PCB substrate still available? You would probably have to find some original unused stock... tricky. The solder composition, likewise... probably easier to have solder from a real Apple 1 analysed and replicated.
4. Forge Woz's signature.
Guess it depends on the lengths people will take to determine if your fake Apple 1 is real or not.
