I have seen these on eBay quite often. That's where I got the one for my 8/e. :-)
Also, it is possible to rotate the cam that engages the microswitches behind the key so
that the machine is "always on" and you can control the power with a powerstrip.
That's how my 8/e was when I got it. It doesn't damage the machine but allows
you to power it until you can find a key. -- Ian

Subject: ACE xx2247 key
Hello. I sent this request initially to PDP8-Lovers list, but I send
the
same request here in the confidence of some help.
I am cleaning one PDP8E box with some boards inside. Previously to do
some
cleaning of the internal boards, I tried to fire up the computer
yesterday.
In appeareance nothing is wrong no strange smells, no burns, no clouds,
no
boom!, etc...)
But... I don't have the front key :-)
One ACE xx2247 is needed. I don't have one available, and is impossible
for
me to get one in my country (Spain).
I would be grateful is someone could provide me one, or even a couple.
Contact me off list if you want to discuss details.
Regards
Sergio
