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

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.
