I have an
interest, but only for a handful. Will
is right; the
molds will be the killer.
I would definitely have an intrest - if I had a
computer with a lights-and-switches front panel. Now,
if anyone has a PDP-11/70 looking for a home, then
yeah, I'd buy some switch handles <grin>.
But, despite the costs of mold-making, I'm sure it
would be possible. I know that the vintage radio
community has made reproduction knobs and such. Like
the pushbuttons for 40's Philco consoles and plastic
bezels.
