This is rather sad.
I've received a PDP-8/S. It turns out to be missing so much, that it's probably beyond restoration.
Anyone who can think of potential ways to find the missing parts, please speak up.

Missing:

 - Front panel PCB, 
 - Case top AND bottom, 
 - Power supply.
 - Some flip-chip slots are empty. Not sure if supposed to be.

Also there's no sign of any I/O circuitry.

A curse on slack people who remove stuff from a machine for servicing or whatever,
then never got around to putting it back. Resulting in this kind of tragedy.
