I already have a pair. What I'm looking for is an inexpensive toggle-
switch console or two - mine both have the RDM console. Boring.

I've mentioned them before; they were two of a former set of 5 RSTS/E
PDPs at Bordon, Inc. (you know, the guys that made milk and glue and
all that sort of stuff). The CPUs are in their own racks, with a
memory cabinet each, plus a wad of Fuji Eagles on SI9900 controllers.
