I actually built this kit recently. I'm now gradually building a collection of these front-panel-simulation machines. (Last year, I built his PiDP-8 kit.)

- VLM 8y agoI'm only familiar with the altairduino, which works pretty well on my desk. If you know of any other than those three, please post? I think an IBM 1130 would be totally achievable and fun. A 360/91 might be a little optimistic. You can clearly see the influence on Star Trek original series in something like a 7090; someone who doesn't know retrocomputing would probably accuse a 7090 as being a trek prop.
- octorian 8y agoI actually have an Altairduino kit sitting in my closet, waiting for me to get around to building it. :-) So far, these are the only three kits I'm aware of. At VCF-West for the past year or two, the Computer History Museum (in Mountain View, CA) has been showing off a similar project they've been working on with an IBM 1620 Jr front panel. However, that's definitely not something you'd make a kit out of. But, as part of it, they've figured out how to convert a modern'ish electronic typewriter into a teletype.
