Hi Now that sounds interesting. Where is it? The reason I ask is I have a retired friend who has more video equipment than the BBC. A nice video of it getting craned out would interesting. A couple of points re craning. If there are no eye bolt holes in top of the cabs you need to have a strong base to put it on and then a stretcher bar four rope sling down to the base. Any side pressure will collapse the cab and crush anything inside. I'd tend towards pulling the drives (and anything else fragile) out of the cab. The fact that there's no lights and switches front panel is probably due trying to stop the end user doing something nasty. If I read the runes correctly on other posts then light and switch front panels are around and are a straight swap. I have no fewer than four 11/94's but the KD11J CPU boards were stolen before I got to the machines. An 11/84 CPU (KDJ11-B) + Memory would do but I cant find one at a good price.

I think it was used as a business administration system of some sort, possibly for the printing industry. When I viewed the machine, it was deeply buried under boxes of paperwork and so I've not had a chance to fully inspect the CPU cabinet. The reason for having to crane it out is that the machine is on the first floor of the office building it is stored in and I decided the few hundred pounds it would cost to hire a crane were considerably less than the back surgery I would require if I attempted to get it down the constricted stair cases I was faced with. Plus I could get it out in one piece rather than having to dismantle. Luckily the build has a nice large (reinforced) flat roof, so should be a case of wheeling it out and craning it down. I'm still suspecting the machine to be an 11/34 as I couldn't see any sign of a full switched console so suspect there is a keypad hidden away somewhere. Regardless it will be a nice machine to add to my growing haul of PDPs and VAXes (upto 40 now) Out of interest, how many UK PDP-11 owners are there on this list? Might be worth assembling a little SIG to allow us to swap parts etc Thanks, Toby ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rod Smallwood" <RodSmallwood at mail.ediconsulting.co.uk> To: "General Discussion: On-Topic Posts Only" <cctech at classiccmp.org> Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 5:38 PM Subject: RE: Help identifying a PDP-11 under Arithmetic -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
