As far as I can remember, every straight 8 I've seen in the wild and
almost every picture I've seen has the dark plexiglass panel with the
paddle switches similar to those on the 11/20. However, I have a copy
of the user's manual dated 12/64, and the picture of the machine on
Page viii has what appears to be a simple brushed aluminum panel with
little light bulb covers sticking through it and the switch register
switches are all ordinary mini toggle switches.
So my question is were there any ever shipped with that style of front
panel, or was that picture of a prototype that was revised before any
shipped?
