Ah but DEC did do real furniture.=20
My desk in DEC Park had a fitting on the leg to mount a=20
Rainbow. The colour monitor could be raised and lowered with two buttons
built into edge of the desktop.=20
One of those would be a real find.
Are they that rare? I have one, currently in pieces for storage, but I
have all the bits, of course. Mine came with a Pro350 in the CPU holder,
but from what I rememebr the holder is s pieces of metal screwed togather
and can be assmebled in one of 2 positions to take the smaller ('Bow and
Decmate) or larger (Pro) CPU boxes
Actually, mine might be slightly different, in that the raise/lower
cotnrol is a foot-opereted thing (not strictly a pedal, you push it
backwards, not downad) at the bottom of the desk. That opperates a
capacitor-run motor in the base which turns a screw to move the monitor
pillare up and down. The desktop (large enough for an LK201 and a few
other htings) has a manually-operated ratchet mechanism to set the height.
