Altair 8800 for sale

[benalford]

I have an Altair 8800 assembled kit using only Grant's supplied components.
It is tested and has less than 100 hours of run time.
$2000.00 you pay the shipping.

How much memory, how many slots, what boards are included?

[benalford]

1 new 1k ram board
1 new cpu board
18 slots
1 used, not tried in computer, CompuPro Interfacer 3 with cables
1 used, not tried in computer, CompuPro Ram 16

Thanks for asking.

I found out today that the CompuPro RAM 16 board will not work with the Altair 8800.

Is this computer still for sale?

Hi All;
I have been able to run many of the Compupro ram boards on my machine.
one thing that I did was CUT pins 20 and 70 , both from ground and from each other... then I had no problems, as well as some of my other later style boards....
THANK YOU Marty

Good luck finding one for even close to that amount. I've been watching Altair 8800 computers sell for $1600 - $4500 US on eBay, and they sell FAST. I've watched many sell over the last eight months.

The high-end prices are for vintage Altairs, not replicas. A replica might go for about $2000.00-$2500.00 if it includes other boards and you catch the right buyer. As good a job as Grant did in reproducing the Altair, it's still a reproduction.

I would be interested in purchasing the two boards you have:

1 used, not tried in computer, CompuPro Interfacer 3 with cables
1 used, not tried in computer, CompuPro Ram 16

Let me know,

Thanks,

Jackson
