Hi
Lots of systems got packaged in those corporate cabs. You imply that
its just one Cab. Is that so?
The only real way to tell is to get the model numbers off of the back's
of the units inside. Where is this system located?
A crane sounds bit much. You might want to check under the cabinet for
wheels. Has it really been there since 1977? If so there are a lot
things that degrade with time. Do not under any circumstances turn it
on.
All of the power supplies will need overhauling and the capacitors
replaced / reformed.
If you have looked inside the cab what did you see? If it dates to 1977
then it is in the time frame when I worked at DEC. A bit more detail may
ring a (very old) bell with me.

Subject: Help identifying a PDP-11
Hi,
Can anyone help me identify my latest PDP-11 rescue. Not been able to
get a good look at it yet as it is in a room packed (and I mean packed)
with junk. Machine consists of a DEC Datasystems cab (about 35-40U with
a blue bottom panel, pretty similar to light blue cabs here:
http://www.computermuseum.li/Liste/Digital/PDP11.70.4.html)
I'm not familiar with the DEC Datasystems versions of PDP-11s. Does
anyone have any background information on them?
Also, I'm pretty sure I've not lucked out and found an 11/70 as no
toggle switch console, any ideas on what other models were fitted to
these cabs. I'm guessing 11/34.
Machines is fantastic condition having been stored for last 30 years.
Comes with 2 x RK07s (in floor standing cabs) and a tape drive.
Only downside is I'm having to hire a crane to remove the machine (as
its on 1st floor).
Any advice on moving RK07 drives? Do I need to lock heads?
Many thanks,
Toby
