All of the build files as well as assembly instructions and a BOM have been posted to my Type 30 project page on Hackaday.

I want to take a little while now to jump into the software side of things and learn to do some PDP-1 programming. When I get my Console kit I will look into doing a Type 30 reproduction (perhaps a little smaller) that uses PCBs for the body so that it matches the aesthetic of the PiDP-1.

Great! Just going through the Hackaday page for the details now.

Hey. Just noticed this nice writeup over on hackster.io

https://www.hackster.io/news/michael-gardi-s-precision-crt-type-30-replica-goes-great-with-a-pidp-1-2c3131291c7f

Gareth has covered a couple of my other projects and he always gets the facts and the story right. I especially liked the third paragraph where he describes the PDP-1 and how having an interactive CRT display led to innovations like Spacewar.
