Couldn't find any that he didn't hate.
I noticed the Michell too. It's a Gyro SE MkI, with the solid aluminium platter. Say what you will about Jobs, he knows a classic design when he sees one. In fact, looking at the subchassis of my MkII, the textured metal finish is eerily reminiscent of the skin of the current iMac and Macbook Pro. Coincidence? :)

SE didn't come about until 1999. I think that the black acrylic plinth is there but just not very visible in the photo.
If the photo was indeed taken in '82 that is a very, very early Gyro as Werner's history on the table essentially starts in '83. I have a standard Gyro, now fairly extensively updated (but still with AC motor) that dates back to what Werner describes on the Angelfire website as Mk 0 status that I aquired in the mid 80's.

Really looks like it's standing on silver feet though, doesn't it? Perhaps that's actually the reflection of the spring covers in the shiny plinth of the Mk1. Curious!

The photo of the Mk I that you've posted is a bit deceiving. It definitely has feet but they are not showing up due to the angle of the photograph. In the Jobs photo, the angle is much different, hence the feet are showing up.
Posted link is to one with a clear plinth.

Steve Jobs has a time machine! I knew it!
