[GreenKeys] type cylinder swap

[E. Groenenberg]

Ahh, ok, so the hunt for a type 'ME' might be like the proverbial needle
in the haystack.

Regarding the dust cover, I have one and I was jsut wondering if they were
common or not. Apparently not.

I have my machine only running for an hour or so per week at the moment
and it is alway switched off after playing hours.

If you want to see a pic of the cover, go to
www.groenenberg.net/download/PDP11/pic/ and select the first image.

Regards,

Ed
