The Altair 8800b front panel circuit is much more complex than the 8800/8800a, but other than the added expense it should be doable.
I'm guessing that an ASR33 Teletype replica would cost about US$4,000 and that price would be obtainable only in quantity 1,000 or so. There were literally hundreds of moving parts and the heavily used machines were often in need of repair.
I never cared too much for the ADM terminals; the ones from Soroc, Teleray, and Hazeltine were okay.
