Well, it took a few years, but I finally brought my PDP-11/70 panel back to
life:
http://www.saccade.com/writing/projects/PDP11/PDP-11.html
I'm afraid I don't have the space or power (or noise tolerance!) to have
the real thing around. Has anybody else brought panels back to life? I'm
aware of the Spare Time Gizmos / Ersatz-11 work, and of course the
incredible "Gallery of Old Iron". Any others?

ps - An open thanks to Tom Uban for sending me the schematics - that was a
big help.

Have a look in www.pdp-11.nl/ in the folder "My projects",
or, for an 11/70 console, direct at
www.pdp-11.nl/homebrew/cons1170/cons70startpage.html
I am going to read your pages right now!
Nice to know that I am not alone :-)

Nice.

I have the space and power for an 11/70, and, oddly enough, there's an
11/70 in it (and one next to that ;-)
Has anybody else brought panels back to life?
I have a real 11/70 panel that was free from Jay West after he
stripped off all the useful switches from it... my first goal is to
get it working as blinky lights on a real 11/70, then start shopping
around for replacement switches and toggles to get it back in service.
I figure it might take a bit of looking for donor parts, off of, say,
two other broken panels, but it's not too hard a task to accomplish.
Enjoy the panel - real blinkylights are lots of fun.
