The CPU control panel is damaged.. all of the toggle caps and switches have been smashed.

I am partway through a couple of projects to restore it, mainly a project to replace the power supplies with PC style supplies, and another project to replace the switch panel with a touch panel + USB that would allow the unit to operate without the switches.
