The number is printed on the top rear of the rack, I have a KS10-AA, the
serial number as printed is MRR4469. This is also printed in several
places on stickers affixed to other places in the rack.

Right now, I've finished making sure there are no obvious mechanical
faults (I.E. making sure I didn't destroy it moving it), pulling all the
various boards out, making sure the chips on them are well seated, etc.
Then I might just try turning it on. (The top of the Mighty Mite is rather
scary looking and I'd rather not go poking a voltmeter in there unless I
have to, lest I bridge two terminals or something and destroy it.)

Will it be unhappy with my if I plug all these 120 AC plugs (I found 3 so
far, one for the fan at the base of the rack, one for the KS logic, and
one for the UNIBUS box) into a normal powerstrip instead of DEC's?
I don't have the proper plug for the end of the power controller, and this
is what I do for my PDP-11s anyway.

Does anyone have the jumper settings for the console board? I'l like to
not have to try guessing what speed/stops/bits/etc. it's set to.

Oh, and I did neglect to mention that the machine was earmarked for Gordon
Greene, who graciously let me snag the machine out from underneath him.
You have my eternal thanks, I didn't mean to leave you out.
