The blue panels were solid blue plastic plates, same size as the regular panels
are, and maybe 1/8" thick. They were in wretched shape! Any graphics had worn
or peeled off long ago, a few jacks were labeled with those adhesive embossed
plastic tape things. The electronics were equally beat up. There was I think
a phase shifter and a VCFS, a few other things. I saw two or three blue panels
out of a 10 panel system owned by Mike Dvorkin. I believe Knox Bronson also
had some blue panels.... If these were unique then maybe Mike bought them off
Knox, but I don't know that for a fact.
