I know we can get the DEC board handles from Douglas.
I seem to recall that there isn't a good supplier for the front panel
toggle switches of various colors.
Recently the Pocket Factory guys visited our make space and they were
asking for ideas for little things they could print that could supply
a market demand. <http://pocketfactory.org/>
The only thing I could think of were the plastic toggle switches and
board handles. I'd forgotten about Douglas supplying the board
handles until our recent thread about Qbus prototying boards.
Is there a supplier for the toggle switches?
Obviously printed parts aren't molded so they are obvious replicas,
but they can be cheaply made in small quantities if a design file is
available.
If this is something you'd like to try out, I suggest you contact the
pocket factory folks directly at hello at
pocketfactory.org. I discussed
the idea with them last week, so if you reply relatively soon, they
should remember the conversation.
