If you mean the plexiglass for the console, I might be able to help with that. I thought at one point I was going to get an entire PDP-12 from U. Wisconsin Comm. Arts, but when I showed up on the appointed day, it had been dismantled - but I did get the backplanes with cards, and the console, more or less intact, and the VR14 - just no racks or power supply, RK05's (including their controller) or TU56. [I later obtained and still have an entire PDP-12]. Unlike sending a DG terminal to NZ or OZ, I suspect this would be more manageable. The IBM 1401 and 1410 and many other machines had plastic display panels at various places - and even the main console - that allowed a lamp to shine through at the desired places in front of lights, not unlike what DEC did.
