Thanks,
I can get C&K switches, I was hoping Ian would detail what he meant by
"standard telephone switch", what it is and where from as its still
available. All the same your 59c switch is very cheap, more expensive over
here.
Regards,
Mike

Same happened to Tore's PDP7 system in Oslo, he may be interested but
I
think restoration of that system has stalled.
What are the switches, type # supplier ?. I thought they were a C&K 7101
style, I'm looking into creating a front panel with modern elcectronics
for
a lookey-likey blinkenlights.
So, one of our folks with above-average mechanical aptitude *made* some
Would appreciate any photos or info on the restoration for the PDP-7
register
Regards
Mike.

UNIX is user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are.
One of
the few items damaged in the shipping of our PDP7 from
University
of Oregon was a handful of the front panel switches. The switches
themselves are a standard telephone switch and are still available!
But the
long, tapered bat handles were unobtainium.
