  IMSAI and Altair Production Figures by Bill Degnan - 05/03/2010 20:08
http://www.imsai.net/EdRoberts_page.htm

Interesting perspective from the curator of the IMSAI name in cyberspace. I am not sure if there have been any sales of IMSAI anything for at least 4 years.

According to this page ...

Total IMSAI 8080 Production: 20,000
Total Altair 8800 Production: 12,000
