They think it's a PDP-8 panel, but I highly doubt that given:
(0) It's got 24 bits, or maybe 18 + 6 if you look closely.
(1) The switches are the wrong color
(2) No "|D|I|G|I|T|A|L| PDP-8" anywhere on it
(3) Doesn't look like any PDP-8 I've ever seen
So what is it?
I have no idea but it looks COOL. In fact I building
24 bit computer and want that panel ( but not at ebay
prices. The question here is who made 18 bit computers? as the layout suggests that to me from the markings
around the switches. Ben.
Looks like 2 panels
