The schematics available include console data and power paths.  Basically
there is a Teletype interface and a computer interface, similar to a front

Nice  Find Bill!
 
The mention of the kitchen computer makes me
wonder how  many of those still exist
or... how many were sold?
 
Has anyone  dome a detailed  write up on it?

Very nice photos.  Reminds me of Sherman's 440 console a lot

The two empty slots may be for connector cards for the cabling from the 
panel into the system?
