Finally found it: https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Poptronics/70s/1977/Poptronics-1977-03 .pdf Bottom of page 116 (PDF page 108) From: William Sudbrink [mailto:wh.sudbr...@verizon.net] Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2020 5:53 PM To: 'General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts' Subject: CYCLOID faceplate for Altair computer... I seem to remember this being discussed many years ago, but I can't find it. Anyway, there's an Altair on epay right now with a CYCLOID faceplate. If I remember correctly, this is just a replacement plastic insert that was sold simply to "freshen up" an Altair where the original had worn badly, as so many did. I've done a fair amount of searching but I can't find an ad or other reference to the product. Does anyone recall the time period? I would assume it was at least a couple of years after the introduction of the Altair. 78 or 79? A pointer to an advertisement or one of those "new product" paragraphs that many of the magazines did back then would be most helpful.

CYCLOID faceplate for Altair computer...
I seem to remember this being discussed many years ago, but I can't find it. Anyway, there's an Altair on epay right now with a CYCLOID faceplate. If I remember correctly, this is just a replacement plastic insert that was sold simply to "freshen up" an Altair where the original had worn badly, as so many did. I've done a fair amount of searching but I can't find an ad or other reference to the product. Does anyone recall the time period? I would assume it was at least a couple of years after the introduction of the Altair. 78 or 79? A pointer to an advertisement or one of those "new product" paragraphs that many of the magazines did back then would be most helpful.
