I'll not pretend to be any sort of Altair expert, but I did manage a fairly
involved rebuild / restoration of one, about a year back. Here's a link to
the set of documents I collected in the process:
https://nerp.net/~legendre/altair/
My machine is restored to what you might call a "freshly built" state, so
the only boards present are the 8080A CPU and a third-party SRAM board. The
front panel is also re-installed and working.
I haven't been able to find (afford..) a genuine MITS RAM board for it,
much as I'd like one. =/

Hi Guys,
I also have an original Altair 8800 that has not been powered up since I
was
in my late teens or early twenties. I'm 56 now and I was wondering if
anyone has put together a document for successfully restoring Altair
computers specifically and retro style computers in general. Any help is
much appreciated. I have a bunch of boards in mine. Here are the
pictures.
