The KS10 is at my house, along with my DEC, SGI, and Sun collection.
I have a DEUNA and another Unibus Ethernet board, but have not installed them.
At the Lab, we have a PDP-12, and a PDP-8/I that are running.

Excuse my long post, but I get excited whenever I can talk about the Model 16.
:) I will expound a bit on what was already mentioned.
The Model 16 was an engineering marvel. It was released in 1982 in the same
form factor as the venerable Model II. It was essentially an upgraded Model
II. I

Hello,
this kind of keyboards was made using small pieces of conductive rubber to
close the circuit designed on the PCB.
The rubber was an uniform compound, so even with severe usage, i.e. high
consumption, the conductivity remained constant.
However, in more recent / cheaper products, the rubber i

Just out of curiosity, you might try a little extra fine sand paper on the
button. You have little to loose as it doesn't work anyway.

Don't get the new MK48T02/MK48T08s from Mouser et al, they're not fully
compatible. They will retain NVRAM but the clock part is different and

Tip on replacement hard drives: you can use a SCA drive with an adapter
inside some Sun boxes, or my personal favorite, a Sun "UniDisk" enclosure
with a SCA drive inside. SCA drives are really cheap, even for big ones
(they go up to 300 GB), and you can still get some of the later production
drives
The ones from Mouser work well enough in every system that I have used
them in. I still get the IDPROM corrupt message on boot on some systems,
but it holds the MAC and the systems boot without intervention.
I tried to repair a few and botched most of them. I know that I should
be using the Gl
You can always send me the dead modules and I'll rebuild them (GlitchWorks
== me, my wife sometimes helps with assembly). Whatever you do, don't throw
out the dead NVRAMs -- I'll buy them or pay for you to ship them or
whatever, they're not making more and they're the only solution that's 100%

I keep them all. Not counting the bad ones in the SS1 and 2, I have 7.
I can send them to you. I don't mind pick up the shipping costs for
something small like that. But the $70 that is it going to cost to ship
the SS20 to its new home is another matter.
