Hello,

 I am also interested in locating possible sources for PDP-8 plastic
switches. I have a PDP-8/L that I have the opportunity to play with, and
it is currently missing ~3 of the orange switches on the front of the
unit.

 Also looking for good sources in general, as I assess the operability of
this machine and may need to obtain other parts if I find things in need
of replacement.
