DEC PDP-11/70 kit build in progress with the blinkenlights working! (actually running a simulator on a raspberry pi) Next step is soldering on lots of colorful switches. This kit is from Oscar at https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11

PDP-11/70 minicomputer replica with a row of purple and red switches below a bunch of leds, with a small terminal on a screen to one side.

@cathos looks absolutely gorgeous, what programs do you plan on running on it? I feel like it'd be a nice platform to write a little sequencer on.

@neauoire Not sure yet! I'm going to start by leaening the basics on a few of the systems that originally ran on it, but I am excited about the possibilities of just having those lights and switches... a sequencer would be fun!
