Also for the /70; I announced a couple of weeks back that I'd added a scan of
one to my PDP-11 stuff page:

One of those on that page, too. (Well, the plexiglass part. :-)

I like them both... :-)

They are different; the 570 includes a deep blue (a royal/Prussian kind of
blue), and on the KL10 both are lighter.

Actually, that is the only 'front panel' (lights and switches) on the KL10;
the KL10 CPU itself doesn't have one (unlike the KA10 and KI10).
