Hello all,
As I never came across a complete unit of an early PDP-11 with 
lights-and-switches console, I decided 5-6 years ago to figure out, if I can't 
build one of out of different parts. It seemed possible to get there if I focus 
on parts for a 11/35 or 11/40. 
5 years ago, I came accross a backplane for such as system. Two years later, I 
was lucky to purchase an almost complete board set (one board missing, the 
M7232) from another classic computer enthusiast. Last year, I got a BA11-F 
chassis with the power supply. 
Over all those years, I looked out for a 11/35 or 11/40 panel (KY11-D), but I 
never was lucky to come accross one.On epay US, somebody is offering the plain 
PCB, but the seller says that he cannot ship to Europe :-(
My frustation pushes me now to ask, if anybody on this list has such a panel 
with the electronics board that he would consider to offer me for some $$$ to 
help me building a complete machine? I don't mind the panel color, e.g., if 
it's from a front-end PDP-11 of some bigger DEC system, or if the silkscreen is 
damaged or even missing. It would be great for me to get an early PDP-11 up and 
running and connect it to peripherals such as an RK07 that are in my 
collection.  I am located in Germany. Contact me off-list, if you have 
something to offer, please.  Best regards,Pierre
