Front Panel Update

[Rod Smallwood]

Hi
     Its a full size 8/e front panel.
Its made to be a replacement for damaged front panels on real PDP8/e's
I doubt it would fit anything else.

There is a possibility of  a lights and switches panel to go with it if 
we can solve the
problem of  the lack of the lever operated switches that are a feature 
of the PDP8

However its a case of  if you don't have an 8/e now or are building one 
then this panel is not for you.
