Steven... thanks a ton! I think you've solved the
mystery.
What was in the documents you scanned is clearly my rack... so it's definitely an
H967.
But if you look at the handbook link I posted earlier, it ALSO lists an H967, which is
clearly different than mine and the document you scanned (ie. Fan sits in center of
cabinet pointed downward with a cowling, and the top of the rack is flat, not sloped).
So it would appear that over time there were two very similar, but different racks - both
designated H967.
Thanks!

No worries Jay, I think you're right about the H967 variations between the handbook
and the sales catalog. Back then
they didn't put 'Subject to change without notice' on everything, it was a
rapidly evolving industry and I guess
that sort of thing was just expected.
By the way the 1978 DEC Sales Catalog I scanned is a fabulous item, I snagged it off eBay
last year. If I had been
stranded on a desert island and needed to mail order DEC gear back then, this is the doc I
would want.
I'm slowly scanning the whole catalog (each page at 600 dpi) which I will turn into a
PDF for everyone to have. I've
been at it for a while and I'm about halfway through.
Steve.
