Is it the one on the front or is there a breaker on the back? > > I've tried to repair it, but not had satisfactory results.

I couldn't find the right color but I could reuse the original housing: http://www.update.uu.se/~pontus/pdp1173_restore.shtml I'm not certain it's the same for the VAX in BA123. An issue though is that the bulb in the new switch didn't light up but I guess that is a problem with the fron panel PCB. Pergaps it is configurable with a jumper? Speaking of BA123. Does anyone have a set of skins for sale? /P
