Thanks, I bought it :)

OK, it turns out I needed to be looking for "BM873"; under that, it appears to
be fairly well documented (prints, TM, etc).

Most of the later variants are for use on the 11/40 which is the front end of
a KL10; there's a PDP-10 document online (KL873.MEM) which lists them all in
some detail.
Does anyone have a -YB we can dump? (I have a -YA, and will dump that in a few
moments, here.)

Does anyone know of _any_ information about this series of cards? They are
quad cards which seem to use two chips of the same types as the M9301 uses
four, with 128 words of memory. They thus must fit between the M792 diode ROM
card, and the M9301, in timing terms. However, search as I can, I don't seem
to be able to find anything on them. Known variants are the -YA, -YB and -YJ.

Hi Guys
Does anybody have an 8/i or 8/L?. I need a close up pic
of the logo area to the top left of the panel.
In particular the address text under the logo.
The font looks like a made up one and I need to create it.
Thanks

Hey, all you PDP-8 people: there's a PDP-8/E-F-M OEM price list going on eBay,
not very much:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/272187153709
I saw it go past once before, figured someone would notice and grab it, but I
guess not...

Hello Guys.
To say I'm pleased with the comments on the batch
just shipped would be an understatement.
However you cant just rest on your laurels.
_Batch now in production_
The next batch is already underway and the quantity increased to thirty,
It will consist of 8/e (A and B), 8/f and 8/m .All the artwork is done
and ready
I'm trying to get to a ship from stock situation but I keep getting
pre-orders (not that I mind!!)
_The PDP-8 Product Line So Far_
PDP-8/e (A) before the switch change
PDP-8/e (B) after the switch change
PDP-8/f
PDP-8/m
We also offer to change the address from the standard maynard to galway.
If you find any other address variations I'd be interested.to consider
them as well.
_PDP-8 New Products under consideration _
1. Front panels for any of the other PDP-8 models, Including the
Straight 8 but excluding PDP-8A.
2. Bezels either cast metal as existing or a tough plastic.
The metal ones are big and heavy and awkward to ship.
3. Programmers Console PCB (key and lamp unit) / emulator
4. Integrated version of 1 + 2 above
5. Integrated version of 1 + 2 + 3 above
_
__PDP-11 Product Line_
1. Artwork underway for 11/XX panels (11/70 style)
2. No launch date yet but not a long way off.
_DEC unlisted above or non CPU panels._
I'll look at anything DEC made that uses a flat substrate (Plastic,
Metal or Glass) and has screen printing
_Non DEC panels
_
I'd be intersted in panels from other makers using similar substrates
and screen printing.
I think thats the lot

Hi all --
Yesterday I replaced the dead 2N6547 transistor in the H7104 and fired
'er up again. Same exact results. (The timbre of the power supply
whine may have changed slightly, it's hard to tell). So, back to the
drawing board. I tested the replacement transistor after power-up and
it was still good, so at least it wasn't a casualty.
On closer inspection, I found what appears to be a large-ish (maybe
2.5-3mm in diameter) resistor with a hairline crack down the middle.
Testing reveals it to be open-circuit, and looking at the print set
reveals it to be connected to a leg of the transistor I just replaced,
so that seems suspect. I noted no smoke or odor during any of the times
I've powered this thing up (the resistor is on the outside edge of the
supply and I was watching pretty closely at all times) so I assume it
was dead long before I got ahold of this machine and I just overlooked it.
It's listed in the print set as a 1 Ohm, 2 Watt resistor, with a "FUSE"
designation. I'm not entirely sure what I should be searching for for a
replacement; clearly the "fuse" part of the designation is important but
I'm not sure what a modern equivalent is. I've browsed around Mouser
for awhile and I'm not seeing anything obvious. I'm sure this is
obvious to anyone with experience -- can you point me in the right
direction?
Thanks,
Josh
I believe it has the nothing-but-horizontal-bars-in-display problem.
Picked it up in anticipation of working on it someday but I have too much to do.
With keyboard.
I think the system disks and manuals are also around.
Sorry, but I just can't get into packing&shipping stuff this size.
