Ok, I just realized it's an 8800 and not the 8800b I have. I wonder if MITS
produced an 8800b-like retrofit panel for the 8800, or maybe some third
party did. If you look at the close-up of the switches, you can see wear on
the white background. So, it's got to be age-correct.

Later I'm going to go downstairs and look at the serial number for my 8800b. I
have never seen a front panel color combination like this before in any
pictures.
I've never seen an altair with a front panel like
the one on ebay item #160276656912. Has anyone else?
Is is located close to where I work and I'm thinking
of asking the seller if I can stop by and have a look.
If it's nothing unusual, I won't bother.
Nobody has an opinion on this??? Or is everybody about to
snipe the auction?
