Ah, it's too late now to do market research :-) We went ahead and made the kit. It 'had to be done'... not very professional but I had been sitting on this for 5 years and when I got some help, I just made the jump.

The PiDP-10 replica project is starting to look like small-scale manufacturing. The custom made switches arrived. Heavy stuff... had to borrow a forklift.
A PDP-10 needs 74 switches, so this is only enough switches for 800 kits (More than DEC ever needed, though!)

I'm pretty scared, actually. We had to buy parts in quantity to get to affordable parts prices. It feels like I put my head into a noose. Oh well. OCD, what can you do about it...

Iām super excited about this. Oscar you could start taking orders that might help you to get a better understanding of the demand?

I hope you do well with it in the end. There is certainly a group of people walking around this crazy planet you are going to make very happy... I have a PDP 8/L and PDP11/40. Finding room for a PDP10... well... it was probably that or staying married. This will help š
