The 1936 Baird television set may not work and delivers a huge electrical charge of 5000 volts.
But it could still fetch between $20,000 (£13,000) and $30,000, according to auctioneer Bonhams.
The Apple 1 has a starting price of $300,000.
Last year, a similar model fetched $365,000, and in 2013 the Henry Ford organisation paid $905,000 for one of the original Apple computers.
Fewer than 50 Apple 1s are believed to still exist.
Seymour Cray is widely considered to have designed the world's first commercial supercomputers.
He was working on the Cray-4 model when his company went bankrupt in 1995, and the following year he died in a traffic accident.
The processor, with serial number 001, is listed at $50,000 - $80,000 when the auction takes place at 13:00 local time (18:00 BST).
Other lots include an early German Enigma machine, handwritten paperwork by Albert Einstein and a 19th Century telegraph sending and receiving set used by spies during the US Civil War.
