There is discussion of doing a run of indicator panel

for the RK11-C (which is wired for an indicator panel, although as far as
I know, DEC never did the inlay).
If you're interested... you will need a standard DEC indicator panel light
panel (with flat cables with plug-in-cards on the ends). (I don't have any
insight on how to get one of those. It shouldn't be _too_ hard to make
replicas, but I'll leave that topic for the moment.)
I have both an RK11-C, _and_ a DX11 light panel sitting around (got it
loose some years back)
Starting with that, Dave Bridgham managed to whip up a
rough approcimation of
what the inlay would look like:

Looks cool.
Anyway, if anyone is interested, the next step would
be to find out who all
wants an RK11-C inlay, and work out _exactly_ what would be printed on it.
Put me down for one. I've had this RK11-C for a long time and haven't
done anything with it. I have always planned to put it back on the
11/20 it came with, but first I need to get the 11/20 going so that's
pushed down the RK11-C. This would be really cool as a debugging tool
more than just as amazing lights.

P.S. - not to derail things, but definitely loop me in on the (future)
thread for making reproductions. I have access to some tools that
might make parts of it easier.
