Hello Jay.
I am sorry to say that I am not going to use those buttons in PDP-11's,
but in my StarShip (click the starfield on
http://home.hetnet.nl/~tshaj).
I have developed the code for the main screen, with a correct view on
the stars. The code allows for magnification and view opening angles.
To use these "options" I am looking for 'nice' buttons, like the ones
that HP uses. Those buttons have a LED in the middle to indicate that
the button is active.
If those buttons you have found at the surplus dealer have the LED
in the middle of the button, I would like to buy several of them.
Let's say 20 with the green colored LED and 20 with the red LED.
I can pay via PayPal, or send cash $$ in a letter, what you prefer.
Hoping you have found the correct buttons ...
and willing to do the effort,
kind regards,
- Henk.
(PS. would it help to say that I was one of the donators?)

Subject: Supply of DEC 11/23 11/73 front panel switches
Found at a local surplus dealer... a whole container of those
square white
pushbutton switches that I am pretty certain are the ones
used on the "front
panel" of the 11/23 or 11/73 systems.
They have the following markings....
I think they had them marked at 0.59 each, if these are the
right ones (got it at work actually, haven't had a chance to
go home and check they are the right ones) and anyone wants
any, let me know.
