I'm sure that someone is doing it from time ago,
but as a
documentation effort (and ever that it wouldn't suppose a legal
problem), I would suggest to keep the photos of items like this one
which appear in eBay from time to time.
This PDP8 is an example.

FWIW, I have an 8/f with the Industrial-8 faceplate, but the original
8/e/f/m switch paddles. I purchased the 8/f on eBay and the seller
claimed that while someone was cleaning the faceplate, he wiped off all
the printing. In addition to what I paid for the machine, I had to find
another faceplate. What was available at the time was the Industrial-8,
and I find I like it. I just wish I could find matching switch paddles
for less than a second mortgage. :-) -- Ian
PS: if I'd known he was going to 'clean' it, I'd have told him, don't
touch it, just send it. Of course, it ended up on my doorstep in a liquor
box with a bit of crumpled newspaper around it. Some people just
shouldn't be allowed anywhere near vintage hardware. (Yes, I gave him
negative feedback - especially since it also took seven weeks of nagging
to get him to ship it. He's no longer on eBay under that name.)

My excuses. I've located it with my eBay searchings and the returning

I really just mentioned it in case people were thinking it was in the
UK.
Getting that to the UK would cost a mess of money.
Is there anything around about the design work at DEC ? I would love to
hear
the story about the red, white, and blue design of this box. Did they
design it after a wild 4th of July BBQ? It looks so different.
