Mike:
I've prototyped (and Scott has refined) a replacement Altair 8800 front panel with
this service. $98 for single units dropping to the low-$80's.
I haven't ordered samples yet but if I get the front panel attachment for the
Altair32 Emulator done, I will.

Subject: Custom made front panels
When I restored my TV Typewriters I made a metal case.
I was
looking for a
good way to label the back panel. I found an online source for
engravedpanels. FrontPanelExpress provides free design software
(Windows only) and
very reasonable prices.
www.frontpanelexpress.com
I ordered a 4.5 by 13.5 inch panel with punched holes for a DB25
connector,switches and fuseholder. It was anodize aluminum with in-
filled lettering.
The cost for one was $46 plus shipping. I have a write-up here.
