 Subject: Panel question

 I'm trying to mount the front panel on my 11/34, but I've run 
 into aproblem: I have no mounting brackets. What do the 
 brackets look like formmounting to a BA11-K, and does anyone 
 here have any extras?Secondly, was there a H964x style beige 
 panel with black vents that would goon the non-covered 
 portion of the 11/34a's BA11-K?  I seem to rememberseeing 
 that sort of thing on some 11/44s and 11/24s.Again, any 
 advice would be appreciated.

 I thought I had an extra, and was going to look at it.  Seems 
 like I must have sent it off to someone.  It's not like the 
 older clip on panel types.  It is screwed to a bracket.  If 
 no one else comes forward I'll remove the one from my 11/34 and look.

 As to the other panel, mine is simply a 1/2 DEC black panel 
 screwed in from the front above the programmer panel.

As far as I can remember (at work now) they have the following shape,
the bracket is drawn in front of the box. The "s" is a hole in the
bracket. The flange (at both sides) at the front side of the box has
also a (bigger) hole. You put in a screw (s) from the rear side of
the flange, through the bracket and tighten the screw on the front
panel. See the figure. F=front panel, B=bracket, BA=box.
Making such a bracket from a strip of aluminium should not be too
difficult.
