Many machines were converted to use the remote

You might have some luck finding one of those, which has pretty low
value to collectors, just to get the bezel back.
I'm trying to go the other way... I have two 11/70s with the remote
diagnostic panel, and a partially-stripped 11/70 full front panel PCB
(it was free, but missing all the switches as part of a two-into-one
repair by someone else (who is on this list ;-)). It's good to hear
the cast bezel is the same. I'd still need to either find/produce
switch covers and find the C&K switches with the square mounting clips
(not the common variety) to restore it.
So I've been following this discussion to see what to do with my own
system. Thanks!
