I agree, and am considering that, but the amount of work involved may not
be justified compared with the cost.
And since there are probably more PDP-8 switches floating around then
PDP-8 computers themselves, I don't see this as a problem.
If I can't come up with a source then I'll resort to manufacturing my own,
but I'd rather have the originals.
