Hello,
amongst other panels and things (CDC 6600 dead start panel, PDP-15
frontpanel) I got this one:

I *guess* it also comes from the CDC 6600 but I'm not sure. Can anyone
identify it?

Looks like a peripheral control for a CDC 1700

Looks very similar to a CDC 160 -- which the 6000 series peripheral
processors were based on, so I guess it's a PP front panel?

There is actually very little similarity between the 160 and the 6000 series PPs. The
instruction set is vaguely alike, but that's about it.
PPs have NO front panel. Nor does the rest of the system. There's only the deadstart
panel (a 12 word boot "rom") and the operator display (a peripheral controlled
by one of the PPs).

I have a 1700 manual or two from the photos in there it's much closer to
the 1700 buttons, etc panel dimensions, etc. I could not find a photo of
a 160 that was rectangular in the same way, can you? The color of the
panel matches the 1700 too.

Doesn't look like anything CDC thatI've ever seen. Not 1700, as it's
clearly 12-bit words. I would've guessed from the 12-bits + link that
it was DEC PDP-8-ish.

Certainly not PDP8 or a clone thereof. The PDP8 numbers the bits with

I'm going to guess it is for a 160-G, with 162 tape synchronizer and expanded memory.
