As Al said, Kennedy 9000.
Slide the test buttons door panel upwards on the top left and all will be
revealed :)

Neat! I’d like to get a PDP-11 in that form factor someday.

Yes. I’ll be fetching it next weekend. I’m excited! I wonder if the hard drive

I am taking the whole system. It's in a rack with a PDP-11/34A, a System
Industries 9400 controller, and what looks to me like a Fujitsu M228x series
hard drive:

I grabbed the M228x
Cool. So that means that this 11/34A has more backplane slots than the base
model? The programmer panel is also appealing. I presume that the Kennedy 9000
doesn’t have a Pertec interface, then?
It remains to be seen whether I ever start my 11/44 restoration vs. moving it
along to another

it is the top half of the 10.5" CPU chassis
the tape controller is probably internal to the cpu and with have three ribbon
cables
Looks like a Kennedy 9000 series, with the sliding panel and all.

I grabbed the M228x manuals from Bitsavers to look up how the spindle and
45ips tension arm 800/1600 looking at the 'density' slide switch
make shure you get the cables and controller board if you don't take the whole
system

I don't know for sure, but it looks a heck of a lot like the drive I
loaded for backups on a 11/34a that the company I worked summers for had.
1983 or 1984 was the time frame.
