General rule for Elecrolytic caps is age and heat is not their friend. So the assumption is if it powers up they may be leaky(electrically) or leaking and not completely bad so inspection is well advised. My experience is if powered regularly (at least once a year for a hour or more) they seem to

The 8800B is not the same as the original Altair 8800. No Idea of value. I happen to have an early 8800 (low SN), and a 8800BT nd the only thing they have in common s 8080 CPU (entirely different board), S100, andmade by MITS. Allison On Sat, Dec 21, 2019 at 2:49 PM Bill Gunshannon via cctalk <

Ethan, I've used parts with 1976 date code at 4mhz and higher. Later part with early 80s date codes and intersils part have been over clocked to well over 8mhz and many. I have a few mid 80s part that have given no issues at 5mhz though it never occurred to me to push further. I recently got a f

They are likely later than the 70s and even more likely Intersil made parts from the 80s and even later. Same for 1806s. People forget that Chrysler used them for engine controls int he late 80s. There is also "refurb parts" of questionable quality and origin. Allison On Tue, Dec 17, 2019 at 1
