A couple of months ago I found a DEC computer with a front panel. Then I
found a second one a few weeks ago. The panels are painted in two tone blue
Tekronix colors. I finally got around to photograghing one of the front
panels today. I'm posting a picture of it at
<http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/dec-k/cp1160.jpg>. Sorry but I haven't
cleaned it up. It's also missing two switch handles. The first one was
marked as being a 11/35FC but I don't remember seeing a model number on the
2nd one.

CP1160 doesn't mean a thing to me, but the two tone blue color scheme
was common in a standard series of DEC PDP11s. Perhaps the business
computer packages? (Forgot the name -- some of those were RSTS and
some were another OS...)

Some discussion of this already occured on the list, I think Joe was
involved?

Yes, you're right. But I promised to post some pictures and I'm just
getting around to it.

This was part of some kind of test staion. The computer part of it
consisted of four 6+ foot tall 19" racks that were bolted together. I
wanted to get more the cables and such out of it but they dumped it on it's
back and there was no way to stand it back up again! It had a couple of
RL-01 or 02 drives in it along with a PT reader/punch (that was smashed
:-( Also a reel to reel tape drive and some other DEC parts. The rest were
Data Couplers and interfaces. The test equipment itself was in other racks
and I never saw it.

Well, some of the 11/34's I am currently working on for some of you
guys are Tek-labelled. Since these are labelled CP1134, I will just
assume that Tek took 11/60's, and rebadged them into CP1160 in your
case?

No, that doesn't look at all like an 11/60. Those have a narrow
console with pushbuttons, not the classic lights and switches style as
shown in the CP-1160 photo. Someone said it's an 11/35, and that
seems about right.

I didnt look at the picture, sorry. My 11/34's are having
a
Tek label of CP1120, which doesnt make sense either :)
