PDP-8/e/f/m Front Panel Knob Wanted (also general information)

[Thomas Moss]

Hi All,

I have a PDP-8/e that's missing the knob on the front panel.
Does anyone have a spare for sale, or know of a compatible part?
Looking up the DEC parts numbers has turned up nothing but the
engineering drawings...

I've never seen another one in person so I can't tell if the knob is meant
to attach to a shaft on the rotary switch, or if the knob itself is meant
to have a shaft. Either way, I'm lacking both, so have been making do with
a screw wrapped in tape.

Regards,
-Tom
