This past Saturday at the Retro Computing Society's mill space we took a good hard look at a PDP-11/45, with hopes to get it running. It is in pretty good shape, and has been upgraded quite a few times over its career running some chem lab equipment. We did, however, find that pretty much every line power cable in the system had started to decay (did DEC buy a bad batch of cords?). They are covered in extremely sticky goo, and every solvent we threw at it would not clean the cords up. I think the cords need to just be replaced., as clearly they have started something that can not be good. So...RCS is looking for official DEC 120 VAC 14-3 power cords with the early/mid 70s type molded-in power connectors, in nice condition, of course. Do you have some DECjunk with these power cords? We are interested (and will make it worth your while) if you can disconnect them - decently long lengths would be nice. Let me know of list. Thanks! -- Will
