Original 11/74 front panel

[Don North]

Actually I was thinking of making a replacement/alternate front panel 
for my 11/44 uisng the
11/74 panel. Add real blinking lights/switches connected up to the real 
UNIBUS/memorybus.

The 11/44 panel is *way* too spartan looking, and the 11/74 panel would 
fit just perfectly on
the front of the box.
