Now you made me go and take off the cover! :-) I didn't dare to do so
at first, because of the limited space, but nothing got damaged and it
paid off. I found an extended warranty sticker that said 'Reading
Checkout XII.67', so your suggestion is correct! While the cover was
off I made some more pictures for the page.

Certainly is a straight 8. Great find. Looks slightly
hybrid.
The front covers I believe are from the rack mounting version.
However the bottom power supply section is in the same position as
the desk top model.
Any chance of getting the serial number? This might allow us to
date it more precisely. I would suggest closer to '68 than '66
from the ribbon interconnects at the back.

He also put a PDP-8 in my garage. It seems incredible, but I think
this PDP-8 is an original one from the first series from the 1960's.
I put up a few pictures at

Could you experts look at them and verify that this really is a very
old PDP8? I ask because I just can't believe it is one.
