Subject: [personal] Looking for PDP-8 omnibus "top connector" blocks (or
reasonablesubstitute)
Picked up an RK8E along with an interesting PDP-8/e
system (well,
interesting in that it says "digital equipment international ltd, galway
ireland" on the front panel, which is something I've not seen before on a
DEC product. Otherwise it's your standard 8/e...)
DEC had a manufacturing plant in Galway, attracted there by government
subsidies, as were a lot of other electronics companies atthe time.

The RK8E's missing the top connector blocks and I don't have any spares of
these; are these unobtanium? Anyone have any to spare, or have
suggestions on how best to make my own?
Thanks,
Josh
