Does anyone here know where I could obtain a front panel frame for a
pdp11/70?

I think I have a few front panels left, including the RDC, but not sure of
the frames. Are they the same as an 11/40 or 11/45?

I'm looking for a frame. They are the same for all of the
later 11s (e.g. 35, 40, 45, 55, 70).

Are the frames the same on an 11/70 for the RDM and the
lights-and-switches panel? They look the same to me in photos, but I
haven't seen both side-by-side. I ask because both of my 11/70s have
RDMs and I would like to put a lights-and-switches on at least one of
them. Jay West gave me a stripped front panel (no switches) some time
ago, so realistically, I need switches, toggles, and plexiglass to get
that one fully working, but I'd be happy to have lights and no
switches or switches with C&K paddles (which I already have).
Given the prices on intact panels, I'm probably going to shop for 2-3
imperfect panels and mix parts. I don't mind a bit of refurb work,
and from some research, panels with broken switches and such don't
fetch top dollar.

I've seen two people (one on this list I think) mold their own swithces
for PDP-8's. I'm going to atempt this myself for the five missing/broken
switches on my PDP-8/e. (unless someone would sell me a handful :)
When I get around to it (within a few months) I'll document the process
and if its not too hard, maybe I can help others with replacements.

I have an 11/70 with "full console" standing next to an 11/70 with
"RDM console". I can check both frames probably on Saturday, and
report back my findings. But Guy will know this too, I guess.
