Sheesh!!
Well what a response.
This stems from my (so far) successful major over haul of my PDP-8/e.
I found one failed 7474 and one failed 8881 ? replaced and now working.
I think I have the rim loader toggled in and will attempt to send a paper tape image from
Hyperterm
Strangely I do have at least three genuine complete 4k memory sets.
The eightstoration will continue.
However I began to think would it be possible to create a close copy of an 8/e out of
modern parts.
As you all know I make front panels so that?s not a problem.
I did manage to copy my (distorted) bezel in resin.
A friend has been able to 3D print toggle switch leavers that fit and work.
...
Could you (or your fried) tell us more about "A friend has been able to 3D print
toggle switch leavers that fit and work"?
I have need to do the same :-<. And I don't have a 3D printer, either.
