That's really nice! Looking at your photos there seems to be an ability to
re-jumper the console ribbon cable on your new board, if so would it be able to
be then used with other original PDP-11 consoles?
I am doing up the CAD model for the 11/05 console (it's really quite a simple
shape) and its switch register board so anyone could print it off and have an
accurate full-scale replica (C&K switch paddles done already).

There's a new adapter board for the BlinkenBone
system.
Now you can painlessly plug a physical 11/70 panel to the extended SimH
running on a BeagleBone.
See

Entry to far-too-many web pages here:
http://retrocmp.com/projects/blinkenbone
All in all there are now at least 3 different (but compatible) ways to
get a blinking 11/70 with SimH.
- Connect a real 11/70 panel

- Run the virtual Java panel

Is that enough '70 now?
