Re: Looking for RX01/02 rack slides

I actually need some slides for my RL02... Are these the same type? I have no rack/slide hardware for it at all, and just have it mounted on a homemade sliding shelf for now. I'd love to have it mounted properly! On Tue, Oct 6, 2015 at 12:00 PM, Al Kossow wrote: > On 10/6/15

RL02 slides (Re: Looking for RX01/02 rack slides)

I have one (and just one) set of RL01 slides that I can spare, presuming that the slides for the RL01 and RL02 are identical. DEC part numbers are 12-13686-00-B-L and -R Ben, if you are in the US (otherwise shipping is probably not worth it), contact me off list and we can discuss price / trade.

Re: Looking for RX01/02 rack slides

Those look like the normal narrow slides DEC typically used (not the narrow ones that pivot used on a PDP-11/20 or the big wide ones used on later PDP-11 mounting boxes). I don't have any exactly like that available. I do have some that are the same size, and might work, but the detent is

Re: Looking for RX01/02 rack slides

Thinking I had an easy solution to the missing outer slide, I ordered a $40 pair of new heavy-duty rack slides from eBay. Beautiful pieces and ball-bearing slides, decent quality hardware too. Only had to drill a couple of holes in them so they'd match the drive chassis, mounted everything up,

Looking for RX01/02 rack slides

I just acquired an RX01 drive (and an RX8E) for my 8/A system. It wasn't too painful to get it going, as the RX8E had "only" one bad IC that was easy to find and I had a spare. Details on the DEC forum at vintage-computer.com. Then the RX01 started audibly working, but with new-old-stock 3M
