You snatch two - 1 for now and 1 for backup :). Plus it is in your neck of the woods or dessert to be more accurate. .

Ugh, this leaves me feeling so conflicted. One or more of these rigs sounds so tempting, but both my house and my 11/730's Unibus cage are full. Do I stash one in one of my sea containers in the hope that someday find time to let it timeshare a desk in my house, and also find a place to plug it in? Or do I do the sane thing, and pretend I never saw this posting? :)

So I have a complete RK611 (backplane and boards, no cables, sorry). I doubt
very much I'm ever going to have any RK07's to use it with, so it's available
if anyone has a use for it. It seems to be in reasonably good condition, but I
have no idea if it's working or not.

Good grief. Just about every email from every mailing list I'm on which I
reply to, I have to manually remove additional addresses from the reply.
It takes about one second. Just deal with it.

I'm not the sure BA11-K (10-1/2" box) mounted 11/34's could do the rotate
thing; the last 10-1/2" one that could was, IIRC, the 11/05. (I don't think
any of the 5-1/4" boxes could rotate.) The BA11-K had that incredibly heavy
H765 power supply, maybe it was too heavy to safely rotate?

Anyway, I've seen BA11-K boxes with several different kind of mounting
slides.
The tall, grey-coated ones are made by Chassis Trak, a division of General
Devices of Indianapolis. The 4 I looked at, all idential looking (except for
handedness), all had different numbers on the CT sticker, so I don't know what
the model number is! This one says '060RH'.
I've also seen BA11-K's with narrower (height-wise) slides, in some sort of
bright metal finish. I don't know who made those.
GD is still in business; I looked on their web site and found similar slides.
I didn't order any because they were kind fairly pricy.
BTW, does anyone know that they grey coating is? Is it some sort of phosphate
plating, or perhaps some sort of early powder coat, or what? Mine are rusty,
and I'd like to blast them and get them re-coated, but I can't figure out
what that coating is.

I have been given an H960 rack :-). I intend to use it for my PDP8/e system
(currently piled up, not connected), which consists of the :
PDP8/e processor, Full of cards, memory extension, EAE, 32KW core, boot
diode matrix ROM, RK8e, RD8e, RX8e, PC8e, etc.
PC04 paper tape punch/reader (acutally, I converted a PC05, but that doesn't
matter here)
RK05 (well, there's an RK8e in the backplane and I have a spare RK05 so
I might as well use it)
RX01
TU56 (single drive version, ths is not a TU55 as some have suggested!).
Various PSUs and step-down transformer for the TU56 and PC04
I think I have the right slide rails for the first 4 units too...
Anyway, does anyone have experience of rack-mounting a TU56? It clearly
doesn't go on slide rails, it bolts directly to the rack (hinge down the front
panel for access). I have the manuals from Bitsavers, they imply there is some
kind of spacer block that goes under the TU56. Does anyone know what that
is exactly so I can attempt to make one if it is needed.

I recently acquired a HP 9825 and have a project planned that will need
serial i/o. If anyone has one of these interfaces they'd care to sell, I
would be interested in visiting about it.
Thanks,
