There are several members I was supposed to check on item and I have
dropped the ball on a few. I rely greatly on high school students to do a
lot of things I can't do myself anymore, and they have had proms and plays
the last few weeks and finals this week.
I am going in for another surgery next
Paul,
I was looking for spare key caps or a keyboard for a LA-36 Decwriter II.
Thanks for following up.
Best of luck with your surgery (getting there myself!)

For what it's worth, if you're looking for a C7-ended line cord and
can't find one, most electric shaver cords will work in a pinch--you may
have to use a utility knife to deepen the "notch" on the plug, but it
does work just fine--and most of those are curled cords...

In general these connectors come as part of a fully moulded mains lead with
a BS1363 ('13A') plug on the other end.

I did a little checking today--I compared a male 163-type receptacle

about 1/2" thickness, so you'd need to enlarge the mounting holes about
1/8" on the t

Couple more pics, including the rc25 drive:

More terminals below desks in the artifacs440 pic.
Could that be an empty Q-bus backplane above the RC25?
