I'm not sure what the official DEC name is for the plastic lever which
actuates the slide switch - anyone know?
I hear them referred to as handles.
PS: If a way is developed to make the plastic levers, the 11/20 uses the
exact same part, just in PDP-11 colours.
They've been 3D printed with the sintered nylon process, dyed and polished
with good results thanks to the efforts of Vince Slyngstad. I'm not sure if
Vince also did the model of it or had some help, but I'm quite satisfied
with mine mechanically speaking, though the yellow is a little light for my
8/E. Maybe some of the 11/20 colors would turn out better.
