Well... Just for reference, the Burroughs machines
were very popular with
the TV and Movie industry as props due to the large number of lights on the
panels. A number of the Burroughs 205 programmers consoles can be seen on
the show "Lost In Space" as the flight consoles on the bridge of the
"Jupiter 2" spaceship
If that is the case, some of the old "Lost in Space" fan produced books
might be able to help you reproduce the console. I've seen a couple of
them that had VERY detailed diagrams in them of all the panels on the
Jupiter 2.

A fan group of this show called "Alpha
Control" (found at
www.alphacontrol.com) does have some 'extra' panels for sale as memoribelia
(can't spell that) of the show for only $7500US.
So... it becomes a matter of just how much you really want one... B^}
