After reading about the PDP-6 I was curious to see if the CHM had one,
so I searched their Artifact Collection for it.
No PDP-6, but since the last time I was there, they included an online
photo search! WAY COOL! A large PDP-6 configuration is visible here:

a much higher-res 6MB tif is here:

Is the panel in view here?
Sounds a little like the panels on the top of our
old DX11 units, which went
from PDP11/45 to IBM 9020. The included a whole bunch of Flip Chip logic
panels, as well as various Unibus repeater and driver cards. Still have one
of the indicator panels somewhere (probably still have a couple of DX11's at
work.....)
I wish I could find one of those panels (they are generic and used by
a wad of options). Mine would go on an RK11-C that would then go on a
PDP-11/20. Until I locate or replicate an indicator panel, I do have
plenty of other hardware to restore, so I can bide my time.
I didn't know that any variants came with switches, though.
