That kit was standard issue for DEC, IBM and
other Field Service company.
Indeed. The first one I saw was carried by a DEC field servoid. I ordered
one soon after...
The only stuff it didn't have is metric and
bristol spine stuff.
Odd... Every 99MP kit that I've seen contains the full range of Bristol
Spline keys..., along with imperial allen hex, imperial nutdrivers,
phillips screwdrivers (0,1,2), flatblade screwdrivers (4 sizes) and a
reamer (!).
Looks like DEC custom built their tool boxes without the bristol spline
stuff.
I added ball-end Allen's to work on TU77s and the metric allen's later.
The ball-end ones are a big plus on getting the stuff like the servo power
amp to break loose of the heat sink compound. (the real trick is having
2 or 3 extensions on 'em.
