and finally, the unit with the exposed door, rotary power switch on left, and controller on right.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that John L can find another control panel for you. You have put so much into this machine I'd hate to see it all for nothing. Even if you don't find the part right now, hang on to the machine as one just may turn up eventually when you least expect.
Best of luck to you. Patrick | ||

hope it's fixable...
it's one of KA's more interesting, if complicated machines, and why here we've concentrated on the simpler Hobarts, ala KDC series 17 & 18. In this case well worth doing because it is such a cool machine.
As one interested in restoring vintage Digital DEC PDP minicomputers, there comes a a point when things like NLA ICs and VLSI boards become overwhelming to deal with, to the point of being not realistic to do, so we've had to cut off machines later than around 1975. We're at the same point with some appliances. One begins to understand why one mantra of engineers is KISS. Love to see videos of the control panel when it's operational. | ||
