Do you have any more of the DEC PDP-8 e/m/f front panels?
I'm looking for one that matches the layout attached. I don't care
what model (e/m/f etc.) it's for, but the rotary switch layout needs
to be right and I prefer the matte finish. Color is not important
either I have orange, green, and blue switch boards.
Thanks,
Bob
Whoops, this should have been a private message to Rod. Too quick with
the mouse...
What I'm looking for is the plastic panel for the bezel. I have the
switch PCB with switches (at least most of them).
I have played with 3D printing switches. They work, but colors are way
off. Someday I'm going to play with an SLA printer. There are dye sets
(such as the Monocure CMYK) set) that should allow pretty close matching
to the original colors. The switches will also come out smoother.
