Inside the Altair 8800 vintage computer
8800 CPU board
The cards showed the most wear and tear. The CPU card showed signs of having been inserted and removed A LOT.
It also seems that a previous owner used pliers on the card corners when removing the card. The cards still work however, which is the most important part. This Rev 0 CPU card has the rare Intel 8080 chip. Most Altairs were powered by the Intel 8080A.
