Hello all,
As I never came across a complete unit of an early PDP-11 with lights-and-switches
console, I decided 5-6 years ago to figure out, if I can't build one of out of
different parts. It seemed possible to get there if I focus on parts for a 11/35 or 11/40.
5 years ago, I came accross a backplane for such as system. Two years later, I was lucky
to purchase an almost complete board set (one board missing, the M7232) from another
classic computer enthusiast. Last year, I got a BA11-F chassis with the power supply.
Over all those years, I looked out for a 11/35 or 11/40 panel (KY11-D), but I never was
lucky to come accross one.On epay US, somebody is offering the plain PCB, but the seller
says that he cannot ship to Europe :-(
My frustation pushes me now to ask, if anybody on this list has such a panel with the
electronics board that he would consider to offer me for some $$$ to help me building a
complete machine? I don't mind the panel color, e.g., if it's from a front-end
PDP-11 of some bigger DEC system, or if the silkscreen is damaged or even missing. It
would be great for me to get an early PDP-11 up and running and connect it to peripherals
such as an RK07 that are in my collection.? I am located in Germany. Contact me off-list,
if you have something to offer, please.? Best regards,Pierre
