I found a company that can make the guides for less than $1 a piece after I pay a $3500 tooling and drawing fee.

In that case, I will seriously look into trying to reproduce some. I have some original ones in the kit I just purchased. I'll first try to make an impression mold. If that doesn't work, I'll have to resort to milling a mold. A bit time consuming, but worth not having to shell out $3500.00.

Did you buy the kit off ebay? The $6,800 one?
If you end up making them close enough to the original, I might be able to buy a lot.

Actually the $6801.00 kit. More money than I've ever spent on a computer before and it doesn't even come with a useless copy of Microsoft Windows!
Of course I'm still hoping to get my hands on one of those fantastic Altair 8800 replica kits I've been hearing so much about

Do you plan on building the original kit?
I will e-mail you tonight about my kit. I thought I had replied to your first e-mail!

I'm really on the fence about building the kit. On one hand, don't build it and it's a perfectly preserved piece of computing history. On the other hand, build it and it's a perfectly preserved piece of working computer history. What does everyone think, build or don't build?
