11/34A, 128kw, RL01, RL02, DSD440.
I still need to clean the side panels up, but it's assembled and up and
running RT11 :)
Back to that /44 I guess... just have to get working drives on it. Then
hopefully back to the /45.

Jay, that's a great looking system! Did you use any of the pieces/parts
you got from me on that system?
You have just inspired me. I think over the holidays I will finish up a
working 11/40 or 11/70 system to put in my office at work. I have
one of each ready, but I just need to clean up the side panels and
touch up the legs, clean up the black cover panels, etc. Those other
guys with all their golfing paraphernalia all over their offices will have
nothing on me once I have a real blinkenlights system sitting in the
corner of my office. :-)

Humm I don't recall you sending me any parts
for the /34. I know you sent me
a few cabinet parts and few memory boards to help with my /45 though. I'm
probably forgetting something and I apologize if so!

I was going to take a RL02
front panel or dec corp cab filler panel in to a
hardware store and have them match the paint color exactly, and get a small
can of the correct mix. Or does an industry standard color coding system
exist, and these magic numbers are known by a listmember so I can just get
the color already? I would really like to get an exact match for the "white"
on the front of the /34 & RL02, the "grey" on the H960 side panel, and the
"black" on the H960 anti-tip feet. Not just the right color but the right
type of paint and finish.

Yeah, there is going to be some difficulty matching the pebbled paint on the
/34 front panel. I had one place that almost was going to do it for me then
backed out when they found out it was just that one part. I personally
would recommend sandblasting it first then repainting, in case there's any
latent rust (don't see why there should be, but whatever)
Just my two cents.

I got this from somebody who got it from DEC circa 1999 or so; these may
or may not be available anymore from the listed paint vendor, I don't know.

You would be better off going to an automotive paint store.
Paint formulas are coded by each manf. PPG will be differfent than
say Dupont, etc. Equipment manf. like Dec would have either used a
stock color out of say the PPG book, or could have come up with their
own formula but it would be based on the tints and base stock of a
particular paint brand.
What you need to look for is a paint code formula and brand for each
of the areas you are interested in refinishing. Take that to an
Automotive paint store and then can mix it for you, some stores can
also load it into aerosol cans. Need to know what type of paint you
want.
A lot of equipment was painted with Lacquer, but you need to know for
sure before put more on. One test is to dampen a cloth with laq
thinner and see if it will soften and lift a bit of the paint color
when rubbed (in some hidden spot).

Yes, it's called RAL (Reichsausschu? f?r Lieferbedingungen), e.g RAL 9010
is a pure white, RAL 9001 creme white and so on (simply google for RAL).
Whether DEC used this norm, I don't know.

Randolf Products made a lot of industrial paint, automotive engine
paint, also famous for aircraft coatings. Recently got purchased, and
moved and claim to be back in production.
