Chuck,
Thanks for the response. Sorry for being so vague. What I need is the
plastic front door assembly(covers the front of the box completely). and the
panel with the run/halt(disk bulkhead) This machine was sadly beat up
pretty good in someones hast to pry the drives out of it.
I hear you on the panel. I thought I had a spare one kicking around in the
chance that I would find a PDP8a. Figures I can't find it now that I have the
machine.
