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.
