I've been contacted by someone who is looking to sell an Altair 8800.
From the pictures the machine looks pretty nice with a very clean front panel and no major dings on the chassis.
The seller was able to power it up, deposit values into memory and recover (examine) those same values back.
The machine comes with the processor card, a RAM card and what appears to be an IO card installed in what looks like a MITS 18 slot motherboard.
Pictures are available at http://www.vintage-computer.com/KGAltair.shtml
Nothing else is being offered with the computer.
He is asking for "market value" for the machine. It will be shipped from Memphis TN. Contact me (webmaster@vintage-NOSPAMcomputer.com - removing the obvious) for his email address, etc.
This is not my machine, I am only passing on the word for the seller. The usual disclaimers apply.
