No, the C+K are the lever toggle switches, as used in the -11/05/40/45/70.
Only the /20 uses the slide switches like the -8.

Hi Noel
That sounds good. Just refresh my memory. C+K are the what I
would call PDP8 type?
I think the PDP-8 type are a basic slide switch with a U shaped bracket
to hold the pivot pins on the lever.

I think the 11/40 uses that same blank, too (with less holes than the other
ones, as it doesn't have the two rotary switches); dunno about the location of

Ok the process mimics the original production system.
I draw the panel using Inkscape because it runs on windows and Linux,

If you mean the plexiglass for the console, I might be able to help with
that. I thought at one point I was going to get an entire PDP-12 from
U. Wisconsin Comm. Arts, but when I showed up on
