Hi
I'm restoring a MicroPDP-11/73. I've made some initial notes here:
http://www.pdp8.se/pdp1173_restore.shtml
The ON/OFF rocker switch is broken. Three small plastic teeth that hold
the springs in place have broken of and a forth is cracked and will soon
break. I've tried three different kinds of glue without a getting a
strong enough bond. I will make another attempt with a fourth kind.
But, I wonder if these are available somewhere? The only marking I've
found is "UND.LAB.INC.LIST" which seems to be a brand with several
different kinds of rockers, some available but not the one used on this
MicroPDP-11. By the looks of it, the same switch is used on MicroVAX. In
the meantime I will probably take one from a spare machine.
I'm borrowing a picture from the net here, but it is like the switch
labled "1 0" here:
