Subject: CYCLOID faceplate for Altair computer...
I seem to remember this being discussed many years ago, but I can't find
it.
Anyway, there's an Altair on epay right now with a CYCLOID faceplate.
If I remember correctly, this is just a replacement plastic insert that was
sold simply to "freshen up" an Altair where the original had worn badly,
as so many did. I've done a fair amount of searching but I can't find an
ad or other reference to the product. Does anyone recall the time period?
I would assume it was at least a couple of years after the introduction of
the Altair. 78 or 79? A pointer to an advertisement or one of those "new
product" paragraphs that many of the magazines did back then would be
most helpful.
Thanks,
Bill S.
