Thank you for enlightening me :) I've seen that panel once before. In
this video from VCF 2006 (at arround 3 minutes) and I've always wondered
what it was:

I know what that is! It's a PDP-11/35 with a custom front panel by
Hendrix Electronics. Hendrix was a company that made pre-publishing systems for newspapers
and was based in Manchester, NH. I worked for them a long time ago on a system for the
Chicago Tribute that included a number of KL10s with PDP-11/34 terminal concentrators and
TMS9900 based intelligent editing terminals. After long deliberation, I have decided to let go
of one of my nicest
best machines. It is a 2 rack config and comes complete with spares etc.
That is a great system, I'm sure you will have many takers :)
I browsed your site and on the 11/35 page you have this picture:

I'm very curious about the blue front panel on the left, what is it? and do you have
a better picture?
