As promised. You'll probably be disappointed with the photograph and I did say it was a roundabout thing but it's the best I have right now.

Here's the back story of the photo. The person that rescued the panels took slide photos of them. Note my plural reference. Maybe it used to be one piece but by the time it hit the dumpster I believe it was in more than one. Anyway, this photo was taken in 1991 at an outdoor party in the Mojave Desert. That's my band in the photo. We were called Blank Tape and I was doing keyboards and manipulations. The guitarist on the left (my wife) is blocking the view of me in the photo. Well it just so happens that my friend that rescued the Kelbo's panels was doing the live light show blending together multiple projectors, slide projectors, liquid projectors, etc. For the slide projectors he would just load them up with whatever good slides he had in his personal collection, amongst those are slides that he took of the rescued Kelbo's panels. This photo just happened to be taken at the time one of those slides was being shown.

Well there you have it. As soon as I am able to get some digital copies of the slides I will post them here.
