My PC04 has a set of rails that are half as deep as
the rack, with a
connecting bar for stiffness, and looks exactly like the one in the
picture... the left and right rails are the grey parts with the large
triangle, and the connecting bar is cadmium-plated steel, part of
which you can barely see in the picture.
Ok, then I think I've seen them in person, but I was unsure.
Sorry. I, too, have more devices than rails.
Seems to be the norm :)
For light-weight devices (PC04, not RK05), you might
consider modern
slide-out shelves. For heavier devices, you might consider fixed
shelves. They will be easier to find than real DEC rails. Many
modern rails are snap-on, and will be "interesting" to retrofit to
30-year-old devices, but not impossible, if all you really need is
something that slides in and out.
The CPU box would be nice to have on a proper slide rail. But the
peripherals, once restored, will probably not be moved so much. So I'll
look for modern shelves.
Thanks,
