The top is aluminum with a square mesh area for ventilation. It was
black but some of the paint has flaked off. It looked like the
original cover to me. A white terminal in an industrial enviroment?
There were two keys missing, and one was inside, maybe the other one too.
I have extras for most of the boards, bot did not see a DEC part
number on the power supply, and have no idea what's in there.
I've seen worse come out looking great after a good refurb.

Wow, it's in pretty rough shape. that hole in the top is not stock :-)
The top should be white.
The VT14 was used to create ladder logic descriptions which were downloaded
to Industrial 14s (second-generation PDP14 programmable logic controllers).
It is basically an 8/e with ROM and a high speed serial interface card. This
was the machine that the VT8/E was developed for.
The company I worked for in the early 80's (Process Control Systems in New
Berlin, WI) developed code which did the same thing under OS/8, eliminating
the need for VT14s.
