I was looking on ebay at pictures of Balltimore. Lo and behold I saw
something the Classic Computer folks would appreciate.
See ebay item 260916992297
It is a picture of an actor, but who cares, it's the background that
caught my eye.

Neat. I guess those are PDP-11/34 ? It could be 8/a but i looks like he
is standing in front of a set of RK drives.

OH!! I just went back and looked; I had initially only looked at the
racks behind the guy, I didn't see the RK07s he was leaning on.
Yes, given RK07s and the looks of the spooler burst pages on the
printouts he's looking at, I'd guess RSX-11, or possibly RSTS/E.
And now looking closer (I looked at the pic on my cell phone
yesterday) the front panel on the right is definitely that of an 11/34.
Technically it could also be an 11/04 but it'd be almost pointless to
put that much mass storage on an 11/04 in a business application.

I think the title on the ebay entry is wrong -- it doesn't look like Howard
Keel or make any sense. The item says that it is Donald Grempler, who apparently
computerized his real estate business in the 60's and made it the major firm in
Baltimore. His
obit mentions a Mark V:
