I have one -12 with a smashed front panel, and one -15 with the nasty
XVM sticky plastic sheet front panel that would look much better with
a plexiglass replacement! The -15s I have also all have the same nasty
sticky sheet for the peripherals blinkenlights - RP15 & FP15, see
http://www.corestore.org/15-2.htm - I'd like to replace those too.
(They are a real oddity; did ANY other DEC equipment use this kind of
blinkenlights panel, with cheap nasty sticky plastic sheet instead of
plexiglass? I've never seen them anywhere except pdp-15 XVM systems)

seen either of them.
I'll give some thought as to how to do one offs.

I have recently produced a number of high quality
custom PDP8/e front
panels. They are full size reproductions of the original. The
production methods are exactly as used in circa 1971.
First, my sincere congratulations! This is a real contribution, and I doubt it
was trivial to accomplish.
I'll also instigate another batch of ten. ..
If I get orders for more
than ten then I'll bump up the second batch size accordingly.
These sound so cool I'm tempted to buy one, even though I don't even own a
PDP-8! :-)
If there is a demand I'll do other 8's or
11's front panels that use
the same plexiglas and silk screen technique.
Someone mentioned -12's and -15's?
