Well I've had a good look at the section marked 'Display'

It looks like the same row of 37 lamps is repeated on a number of sub panels with up to four rows on a panel. The lamps look to be pushed through from behind and held every so often with a chrome screw from the front.

The photo of the lower half shows four sub panels


    CO        4 ROWS
    OU        1 ROW
    DU        2 ROWS
    APU      1 ROW

That might be do-able

Subject: Front panels

The front panel I want to build is for my DPS8-M (aka Honeywell 6180)
emulator.

That is only one of two panels on the Honeywell processors. There was
another one on the other CPU door. There is are three rollers with an
encoding switchs to change what the lights were displaying. Moving the
roller changed the text that was visible in the window below the light
bulbs and told you what each light meant.


For my purposes, I'm interested in the lower half of the pictured panel --
the "Display" -- which showed the PC and registers. My emulated panel can
be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xkjvx5A7vJw.
