Yeah, I think this has more to do with a lack of experience with the
behavior of UNIBUS machines. At this point in time, you have to own one to
know one.
However, with my previous experience with this machine being that of it
coming up with an address on the console, I had not even begun to speculate
that the reason the RUN light was on was for the obvious reason that THE CPU
WAS ACTUALLY RUNNING ;0
However, I learned a lot about this machine and electronics in general from
all this so I'm not the least bit aggrivated. At least now I know all the
power supply voltages and wiring are working the way they should!

Amazing that
I can not remember that! I have seen it
I think the RUN LED is ON on power up because the CPU jumps
into the console monitor PROM on the bootstrap/terminator
card. Even my 11/45 does this.
