DEC handbooks at LA estate sale

[Dave G4UGM]

I can't read the legend on the switchs , but it looks like a console typewriter from an IBM 1620 or similar (did the 1401 have a console). Definitely a museum piece. Didn't someone have a 1620 minus the console? It would make a great addition to some ones 1620 emulator...
