I have the same system cabinet, but have not looked at it in detail.? I
think from some of the replies, they are thinking about the H960 tall
cabinets and systems that are pulled out, then rotate on the slides.
This I think is? like the hood of a car, then the system tilts up, as
the cabinet isn't that tall that you can't work on it on top.
As to sources, either automotive sources and match the fit, or a
supplier like McMaster Carr.? I don't think any NOS on these would be
any better than the ones? you have that rotted out.
I only just got the 11/44 and didn't poke at it yet, just moved it from
the original owner's storage to mine.
I hope it to be one of my first 'big' projects after some PDP8s are tackled.
thanks

I have a PDP-11/44 system in the DEC 41" high
cabinet.
It is designed to be tilted up for service, aided and
supported by two gas struts, one on each side.
Unfortunately, after all these years, the struts have
failed and do not provide any assistance. That box is
heavy!
Does anyone know where I can get replacement gas struts?
