New Altair 8800 Kit

Would It be possible I could get one of the first 5? Or maybe even the one that Is built already? I've always wanted to get an Altair, so here is my chance!!!
This would be a cool christmas gift.:D

A gift for yourself? :) I'm not sure how many I have committed yet, but there is a good chance you can have one. If not, I could send you everything but the case and just backorder the case half. Its going to take some time to build the boards any way. :)

Thanks. Tell us If there are any updates. I definitely want to get one.
By the way, you should make an apple 1 kit like that other guy on eBay made.:)

You know, I was waiting for one of us (discluding myself of course) to do this!:p Either way, I knew it was bound to happen eventually!

Well, back to playing with my Wii!:p
 
At $1700, the price is in the ballpark. I can't see anyone trying to scam a collector right now, but what about 10 years down the road? OTOH, in 10 years, the replica might be even more desirable to collectors than the original, if there's less of 'em available.

People (collectors) hopefully would recognize that It's a replica, and not the original. And I was thinking the same thing as you that they might be worth even more in the future. The ones that where sold on eBay for a limited time were very limited in numbers. Appears only seven to eight where sold. He probably made 10 of them total.
 
Apple2fan, do you have any more details on that Apple 1 kit? I bought Steve's (Obtronix) from ebay. I haven't been able to put it together yet. I've been spending too much time compiling the Altair kit! Steve (the Apple 1 look alike) was very helpful on the Altair project.

There is one on ebay right now:

If something can be improved on the ebay listing, let me know. :)

Are there any questions about the Altair? I programmed and played "Fool on the Hill" last night. I should have a video tomight.

Thanks,
Grant

Its not an Apple 1, is it an Apple 1 expander? Vintage?

Price line? I will sell them for $1700 now. I would of course like to get $2k like I planned, but I'm happy with $1700. The last time I sold something on ebay was 1997. I was hit with a $42 listing fee on this. Back in 97 it would have been close to $4. :cool: John Woodall is a great e-bay seller. I'm lucky to have him as a friend and first bidder on this project.

What ever happened to the Apple II manuals? Send $10 to grant@stockly.com on paypal and I'll copy all the DVDs for you. $15 extra would give you 2 day shipping. ;) I guarantee it is worth $25! ;)
 
Grant,

Have you/would you consider selling parts instead of the whole kit, for us po'folk? I'd like to have a blinkenlights front-panel & board, but the entire kit is kinda outta my range.

You would like to buy the kit minus the case? Put it in your own box? I'd like to see a nice wooden Altair!

I can send you a price on the electronics kit tonight.

Oh! that thing... Not sure If It is for apple 1 or II. Probably both!
I'll think about the manuals. Once I've decided, I'll PM you.
 
<off topic>Actually, guys I need some help! Does anyone have any theories or any knowledge about the Expandamem thing? Online, there was no Info on It at all! Only one sight mentioned It, It was in his commodore PET, And It had a adapter cable to fit the PET. I have the cable too, as you can see In the pictures.

It kind of has the feel of an apple 1 in real life. So far from the research, there is only two in existence. Mine, and the other guy on this sight:
http://www.portcommodore.com/petpix.php?path=main-cbmidx-petidx
2001-8k Original Roms w/ ExpandaMem RAM/KIM Bus Expansion
And I got this for $20 on eBay!<off topic>

Do the card edge connectors fit Apple II cards? How many pins are they?
 
Can you measure the length of the adaptor and also the number of contacts on it? I have an idea of what this is...

Wow, thats pretty neat. I did get 4,000 hits in one day! :) Hack-a-day is a popular site like slashdot? I don't think I've been there before.
 
How much would you want for a case and front panel w/ all lights, toggle switches, ect? I got in touch with a guy I know and I might be able to get a Altair CPU. Awesome job with getting the front page on hackaday! Thanks.
By the way, you HAVE TO MAKE A APPLE 1 REPLICA!!!! Please?
