    given that there only 20000 of those in existence... (vs 5 to 6 million apple ][s, 12 to 17 million commodore 64s,
    and I don't know how many Amigas, Ataris, and Comics).

    But... check this

    This will give you an IMSAI 8080 clone, for a fraction of the price...

    Here is a real IMSAI 8080 that sold in 2015 for $2500US:

    Hi Bobby,

    What exactly do you mean by 'front panel'? Do you mean the plastic
    facing and lettering or the front panel circuit card (CP-A) ?

    Because the plastic itself is easily run up by a shop.

    The CP-A will be difficult to find without the rest of an IMSAI attached
    to it.

    And yes, as Fred implies, the world of early S-100 collectors is very
    different from the 'home computer' crowd that followed.
