Has anyone ever removed a TS-11 from a rack? Any advice?
I assume the first thing to do it to remove the door (after
disconnecting all the cables :-)
Once the door is odd it looks like the front screws will allow the frame
to slide forward and out.
Is the frame heavy? (i.e. can one person remove it?)

Its a fair lift for a fit person, its a cast frame. If its in a DEC
cabinet, normally there are a couple of lead bars underneath.
A friend and myself once tried to swing a TS11 in cabinet over a railing,
just as we were about have a heart attack as the cabinet came to the
horizontal, we saw the lead bars &^*^*^*^%&$$#!!@#

Maybe he's using a time machine and talking to us from back in 1969 ;-)

Remove anything below it, then you can some wood bracing and hydraulic
car jack, along with plenty of thick foam padding (fabric stores
should have this). Make sure that the rack is somehow immobilized.
Alternately, a couple of pulleys attached to the top of the rack (or
basement rafters or the supports above a fake ceiling in an office
environment), and some bailing twine or, better yet, clothes line, are
better yet.
