On ftp.dreesen.ch/PDP11 you can find some pics on how the rescued PDP11/04 fits right in
next to its cousin, a PDP8/a
This 8a, BTW, has more memory (128K x 12) and more oomph ( a FPP8A ) than the
PDP11/04....

Nice! That's one way I'd happily accept being in a smaller room.

Impressive collection of great machines!
My apologies for not recognizing the "pride_of_collection". Tell about it.
I have been looking for years to grab a few of those "low racks" that
can hold 4 10.5" boxes. I have a few H960 racks (for 6 10.5" boxes),
but never found the "4 high" racks. They are called H950 ???
Very nice room!

Diser/ETH Lilith modula 2 machine.
Boring exterior, very interesting inside & software wise.
but never found the "4 high" racks. They are
called H950 ???
No labels to be found on the rack..

to me with a PDP-11/34 and TS03 in it) but I don't remember the name
off the top of my head. ISTR mine has a label with the original
system designation for how it was shipped from DEC, but the whole
system, not the part of the empty rack.

According to

it might be the H967.

If memory serves, that's correct. I have 3 of them. Two of them have the "PDP-8E
Mustard Yellow" color. One of those two has the controls and indicator lights for the
TU10 on that sloped area at the top.
The last one... some "person" spraypainted the top beveled area white (so
can't tell if it was the pdp8 mustard yellow or the PDP11 magenta), and then stuffed a
DG Nova in the rack.
