Trying to figure out a fair value for the following:
Altair 8800b with two Altair floppy drives. System is clean but hasn't
been turned on since the 70s. No software or manuals available. Contains
the follow boards:
1 CPU
2 Floppy disk controller
3 MITS 16k dynamic memory boards (48k ram total)
1 MITS 8800 Disk BD1 Rev 0 x4
1 SIO board with 2 serial ports
1 MITS 8800 PMC Rev01 2k Prom Board
Can reply off list.
Thanks.

I am sure more than I could afford. I have wanted one of those
ever since I read the original article in Popular Electronics.

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.

Other than completeness, a key factor is how close a particular system is
to booting up to a monitor prompt or disk OS. With the disk controller set
that adds to the value. I'd insure if shipping as you describe it for
$2000. Unknown operational condition is a factor, you really should find a
way to safely test, otherwise assume it does not work not the other way
around. Odds are the system will need restoration.
