And at least one dark panel one (currently in Endicott at the history
center). A Goth 360.

Looks more like a model 30 to me; the model 40 panel has regular lamps
rather than the lights behind an overlay.


Like the 360 Model 30 panel on this page?

There were two versions of the 360/30.  The first 1000 units 
had that plastic overlay panel, the later 9000 units 
apparently had the more traditional 360-style panel with 
user-replaceable lamps.

But, I can't find any pictures of one.

The lamps had a pretty short life, the IBM FEs always left 
an ashtray with a dozen replacement lamps on the console 
when they visited, so the staff could replace the bulbs 
themselves as they went out.

Like this 8/L?

And the 11/05 above it?

And the 11/35 above it?

And the 11/04 below it?

And the DG S/130 to the right of it?

Looks like a PDP-8/L to me, with a PC04 high-speed paper tape
punch/reader below it.

Its a /30 console. The Model 40 has the four knobs on the left side, and
is the squarest of all the 360 consoles.

I grabbed some more frames in this blog entry.
