The gizmos sbc1620 front panel looks sort of like a PDP-8/e, but it's
missing a keyswitch and something else doesn't seem quite right, but
I'll need to take another look.  It needs to be in a rack-mount chasis
though, even if empty and weighted with some bricks. :-)

Anyway, that's much better than people destroying classic computers
just to use the front panels with other things, as decoration, etc.

The front panels on my PDP-8/e and HP-1000 are staying attached to
their systems with original insides.  :-)
