Oooh, thanks
ever so much for turning that up!!!
OK, I have added them to the page - I lost a little resolution rotating them
to be level, but there's still more than enough to recogize them, and mostly
read them.
So that mystery panel seems to be a general
panel, more associated with
the CPU than anything else; one line does seem to be the reader, but
one quadrant is the KT15 memory management, one is the KA15 priority
interrupt system, and there's general CPU/system stuff throughout
With that, I think we have most of the PDP-15 panels (although the VT15 image
is still pretty crummy). That leaves only these two:

although that looks like early marketing material, so perhaps those panels neve
made it into production machines?
I wonder if one of them is a BD15 (whatever that might be) - or if that's
the name for the CPU panel (above)?
A further contribution; a much better shot of the panel from my RP11:

If you want pics of the entire controllers with the panels installed
please let me know.
