OK, so which? White or gray? I'm inclined to believe Allison, as my RX02
is the same colour as my QBus machines, and that's gray. But my 11/40 is
lighter than that (though still not white), and in the pictures on David
Gesswein's pages (eg
http://www.pdp8.net/pdp8em/pics/topboards.shtml?small)
it looks decidely white....
Mine has obviously had a thick coat (undercoat?) of grey, same colour as my
RX02, 11/23plus, 11/03, 11T23, 11/34, etc; but also had a thinner coat of
white on top.
