Hi Guys
I have had a quick word with the girls down at the silk
screen shop.
Banner panels 18 1/2 by 3 5/16 silk screened on 1mm Aluminum look to be
doable
I don't know how many different types there were.
Regardless of if you need a replacement and you have not sent me picture
a head on shot would really help

Gazillions.
I could take a few snaps for reference. But I don't really have the means
to make reproduction quality depictions.

Hi
The pictures are for reference. I redraw all panels to get the
separations for silk screening.

Ok, I'll try to take som pictures tonight.
Also, I'd like to elaborate regarding rack headers and why there are so
many.
There seems to be at least 6 degrees of freedom for variation.
1. Computer family and model (e.g. PDP-8, PDP-11, PDP-11/70)
2. Rack type, the earlier shorter racks had metal headers without
rounded corners (see PDP-8/i). Lowboy racks have a slanted header
with deeper frame.
3. Intended market. Lab systems was green, industrial was blue/red. (The
PDP-12 was available in orange, blue and green)
4. Place of manufacture. The PDP-11 header had either "galway ireland"
or "maynard massachusets" printed on them (possibly other places)
5. OEM's had their own designs.
6. Specific systems packaged had their own name and color. I have a
PDP-11/34 with a blue header that says "GAMMA-11"
I'll provide examples of some of these. Others can be found online.

Here's a photo of an interesting example of (I presume) #2 for a PDP-15 in a japanese
computer museum. Also note the unusual PDP-11/05 masthead arranged as 'PDP11-05'
with
a unichannel 15, and also one of those nice blinkenlights panels Noel has documented:

Yes, but it is the taller racks. I had only seen the metal header on the
PDP-12 and our 8/I with earlier lower racks.
Very nice picture though.
