I will probably download everything ... in my
experience, websites
with "/~xxxx/" in it seem to disappear after "some" time :-/
True, but pages maintained by institutions are almost equally bad about
staying put! Many's the time I've clicked on a link, and the target's gone...
I make a real effort to try and not not kill any URL to my Web site that ever
worked (via redirects, if needed). I wish institutions were the same, but
alas, for most Web-masters, they apparently seem not to give a rodent's
posterior.
But the downloading is a good idea - the more copies, the better (although in
this particular case, it's not like the content is irreplacable).
I have probably all PDP-11 models (except the
PDP-11/50)
...
I am not going to disassemble just for a scan.
Well, the /45 front panel is easy: take out the 4 screws holding the bezel on
(quite easy - unlike, say, removing an H7420 to clean it - something I am
probably going to have to do), and then take out the 3 counter-sunk screws
holding the panel on (ditto), remove the two knobs (ditto again) - done! And
equally easy to reverse the process.
I could take pictures, but as you say, edges will warp
a little.
We've already got pretty good pictures of the 11/45 panel, and the RP11-C.
There are no RF11 or RK11-C images (that I know of - the RF11 manual only has
a drawing, and the RK11-C manual, not even that), so if you have either of
those, a picture would be better than nothing.

=========
The /35, /40, /50, /55, and /70 are removed just as the /45.
Don't know about the /20. Probably ditto, never checked (yet).
But I don't plan on removing those, schlepp them to work just
for a scan. Too vulnerable for mishaps ...
The other models are not that "fascinating".
I'd love to get one complete RK11-C ... anybody? :-)
I have another panel (Edward and Tony has it too) with 144 lamps.
It is used on the DX11, a PDP-11 to IBM bus/tag interface.
That is a 5.25" high front panel, just like the RK11-C.
I cannot remove the yellow frame, but could take it to work and
make two scans at 300 dpi. If I still worked for Oc? I could do a
lot better, but alas :-/ Two scans at 300 dpi that can be stitched
to one complete image is better than no image at all.
Don't know whether the frame with cause the panel itself to
be out of focus ...

I have an RK11-C but it did not come with a panel. Also, I've never
attempted to fire it up, so I'm sure it needs a round of
cleaning/deoxit and to be sleuthed for defective ICs.

Now you know where you can leave it behind for a good old retirement :-)
You don't happen to get that RK11-C from an eBay auction some 8 - 9,
maybe 10 years ago?
I remember (just) one RK11-C passing by on eBay, and that was when I
still worked at Oc? training centre, so at least 8 years ago. It sold for
~ $50 (IIRC). Will never forget that I let that one go! :-(

I have an RK11-C as well. Also no light panel. ;( Not sure of its
status - it was working at one point. Connected to a couple of Diablo
disk drives.

I might have prints for the rk11, and RK11 and RF11 on fische, when I can
find them
