Page 3-1 of the 160-A marquee says "CONTROL DATA 160-A" Ebay auction says "CONTROL DATA 160" So, there were two variations of the 160 marquee/sign above the numeric display. ---- Also, if a person is looking at the front of the computer, on the top left side, there is a square cut-out / slot? in the original 160 table (purpose?). This slot does not appear on the 160-A's table (from the 1963 programming manual), nor is it present on the Ebay auction. I am thinking this was originally a "later" 160 that was probably serviced well into the 160-A days. -- Bill vintagecomputer.net
