Thanks. I am not sure it's that critical, but might as well get it
somewhat right.

I wonder if that's what happened to mine. There may be some minor
bits of adhesive residue on the plastic. If the glue failed the aluminium
banner might have fallen out taking most of the glue with it. In any case
it doesn't matter, I don't have it, and I don't need it (as it won't have been
the PDP8/e one).
