That sounds non-trivial to do....

Was there a
yellow/brown one for PDP8 systems?
Yes, I have one sitting on my PDP-8/e system. Just like the PDP-11 panels, they?re ?printed? on an aluminum sheet that?s
glued into the
plastic header panel. I haven?t found it easy to remove them from
the plastic header panel without bending the aluminum so it?ll probably
be difficult to get a reasonable scan but others may have better luck
at removing them than I have had.
I hadn't realised that they were printed on aluminium. Ouch!. I also
don't know how they are fixed to the plastic header panel, my plastic
panel is 'empty' and I don't see any adhesive residue. Maybe some
kind of double-sided tape?
I wonder if something could be done with a good photograph of the
panel?
Obviously I am not asking anyone to damage or risk damaging their
machines for this.
If so, is a scan available anywhere?
Is there any way I can get it printed (and onto what) in the UK? I don't have a
large enough printer to do this.
I would imagine that the best way to do this would be to have the
image silk screened onto the appropriate material and then insert
that into the header panel.
