Tom, Grant moved shortly after this Kit offering, over a decade ago. That kit is OVER (Grant no longer offering).

Mike Douglas looked into that chassis possibility — but was cost prohibitive (>$300). Mike Douglas offers BOTH the Altair Clone (you referenced) AND the Altair 8800c Kits (November 2018). This case he had fabricated is a close look-a-like, but Lighter in weight. Still the case alone is $300 . This case does not have the internal Optima sub chassis (weight) and rails. https://deramp.com/altair_8800c.html Suggest you look at Mike’s multiple vintage computer offerings (web site) AND https://deramp.com/ His YouTube Videos (deramp5113). Here is the Altair 8800c, shown November 2018 https://youtu.be/Q5LjkL5b4n8 greg w9gb == From: Tom Hunter <ccth6...@gmail.com> To: "General Discussion” <cctalk@classiccmp.org> Subject: Altair 8800 reproduction About 10 years ago Grant Stockly in Anchorage Alaska produced high quality MITS Altair 8800 reproductions in kit form. The website still exists: http://www.altairkit.com/ I have tried to contact Grant but did not get a reply. Does anyone know if these kits are still available? Is Grant on this forum? Alternatively is somebody else making complete Altair 8800 kits? I have found people making individual boards but not a complete kit. There is also the Altair 8800 clone which is based on a PIC microcontroller emulating the entire original Altair 8800. It is cute but not the real thing. Thanks Tom Hunter Sent from iPad Air
