I?m there.

I have the means to give the answer (and I'm likely to be a purchaser
since mine has some paint damage) but I can't get to mine before
December.
Looking forward to hearing the answer.

Hi Ethan
Ok .. I now have dimensions and will add you to the list
I have only recently got back to doing panels after a break of a couple
of years.
My wife has not been too well and has been hospitalized on a couple of
occaisions.
However now she is just about fully recovered so I'm back to making panels.
I have stocks of PDP8/e (A and B), PDP8/f and universal /f or /m (unmarked).
I'm redoing the old artwork and looking to do my own screening when the
weather gets better.
Doing silk screen printing in a English winter is not a good idea.
We have had showery rain and temps in the range -1C to +4C for weeks.
It aint going to get better anytime soon.
Even in a heated room the humidity is too high for quick drying.
I plan to have a range of panels made and in stock next spring.
I'm always interested in requirements for panels.
So if you hear of any please let me know.

No worries. Good to hear your wife is on the mend.
I'm in no hurry. I won't be doing any restoration work on the
Straight-8s in the next year. My next big project is trying to get
started on my 11/20. It has the plexi, so no worries there. It was
stripped before I rescued it from a dumpster so I have to replace all
the muffin fans and check to see if I have the power paddles or if I
have to have some made. I definitely did not get the PSUs (those and
the fans were kept) and I am likely to use modern equipment rather
than try to source 50-year-old DEC linear PSUs. The target is to get
it working by Spring 2022.
After I get my -8/S up, then I'll probably try to tackle one of the
Straight-8s, but I wanted to get in line for a plexi because the time
to get one is when they are made, not 10 years later.
Cheers,
