Wrong. The 8f uses the same as
the 8e. It was the 8m that had the
LED console. If memory serves it was date of design that influenced it.
My information was based on the maintenance manual. I dug a little
deeper and see that the KC8-M is the operator panel that had only one
switch and the KC8-ML is a programmers panel and has the same PCB as
the KC8-FL that I referenced.
Clearly the panels were not rigidly associated with a machine model.
