Anyway, does anyone have experience of
rack-mounting a TU56?
I can tell you - be careful about putting it all the way at the top. The front deck
can't tilt
downward if the upper edge doesn't have clearance.
ARGH. I was planning on putting it at the top of the rack. But surely it will
just catch on that plastic decor panel, I can either trim that a bit
or put spacers under the fixing screws.
I checked my one H960 - the TC11 is at the top, then both TU56s are
below that, where someone my height can reach the tapes. ;-)
The TU56 on a TD8E on my PDP-8/e has always been on the table. It's
never been in a rack. If I find another H967 cabinet, that will be a
good thing to check since the TU56 would be easy to use in the top
spot (there's no top-mount plastic panel on an H967, so it might fit
there just fine).
