We reformed the capacitors in all three power supplies in the PDP-8/I
at the RICM and powered on the CPU to see if it would show any signs
of life. It randomly lit some lights and would not react to the front
panel switches. Looks like we have some debugging to do.
The front panel power switch was corroded and burned. Any idea where
we can get a replacement?
Were can we get some Oshinos OL-1 bulbs to repair the front panel?
Does anyone have diagnostics for the 8/I on DECtape?
