Hi
Its a full size 8/e front panel.
Its made to be a replacement for damaged front panels on real PDP8/e's
I doubt it would fit anything else.
There is a possibility of a lights and switches panel to go with it if
we can solve the
problem of the lack of the lever operated switches that are a feature
of the PDP8
However its a case of if you don't have an 8/e now or are building one
then this panel is not for you.

Is this appropriate for an SBC6120 or does that need different switch labels

Hi All
Since I released the picture of the first 8/e panel on Friday
there has
been a big response.
Its 12:45 local on Monday in the UK and I'm of to the silk screeners to collect
the rest of the first batch and to arrange for more to be printed as soon as I
get the blanks from the plastics supplier.
I'll send out what I have to fullfill as many of the orders I have so far as I
can.
I have learned an awful lot just based on the inquires I have so far.
I see the following as requirements
1. Full size reproductions of the original panels useing the
same methods.
2. High quality
3. Custom one off service for important restorations.
4. There's more demand than I thought.
5. So far its all been for DEC systems
And yes they would look good just hung on the wall
Next up an accurate reproduction of the bezel.
And after that a lamps and switches board when and if I solve the Stackpole
switch levers issue.
Please send in your orders so I can allocate production/shipping slots.
Regards
Rod Smallwood
