About 1.5 years ago, I needed such a piece. DECdirect told me that they
couldn't sell that part, I had to get it from Spares. Spares told me that I had
to purchase the _entire_ front panel for the BA123 world box.

I bought it from a third-party vendor.

I would offer to send you the address, price, part # and diagram showing the
part... but I don't work for that employer anymore.  Hopefully you can get that
from DEC or from a third-party vendor.
