Kit Options - Display only?

[Grant Stockly]

I will work out individual kit pricing very soon. Check back in a few days. The individual kits have a much better availability than the full system.

I am also willing to sell all the parts except the case for those who wish to make their own enclosure!

MITS had a plan where over 8 months!!! you would own an Altair.

I'm typing this from page 25 of the July 1975 Popular Electronics magazine:

Month One - Assembly, Operator, and Therory of Operation manuals
Month Two - Power supply
Month Three - Expander Card
Month Four - Case with Hardware
Month Five - 1k static memory board with 256b of memory
Month Six - CPU board with all components except processor chip
Month Seven - Control Board with all components
Month Eight - Processor chip

The price was $68.75 per month (Altair kit for $439, Memory for $103, and $8 for shipping made $550 total). Of course $550 in 1975 is about $2060 today.
