MOS 6502 microprocessor, Placerville, California

a vintage MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor, manufacturing date: week 27 of 1984 (some oxidization on the legs) – I haven’t tested it, but I don’t plan to either – it’s more a matter of nostalgia than functionality – I got started with Apple ][ plus and Apple //e at school whereas more people started off with the likes of Commodore 64 and Tandy CoCo – at the time, I never realized how important this processor was, I was more interested in playing games, typing in Beagle Bros one-liners, ordering the turtle to draw fractal triangles
(as a quick aside – speakers won’t work if they’re not plugged in)
