Subject: Speaking of card cages...
Has anyone ever reproduced the card guides used in the 8/A chassis? I
assume these are identical to those used in PDP-11s as well. My are
beyond
brittle.
Thanks,
Marc

Marc,
do you have pictures?
Here is a photo of one of the sides of the 8/A (which I will
have to try
to straighten). It is one of the strips of vertical bands with round
card guides standing off for the cards to slide between.
This is a 8/A 400 cage. The larger 8A 600 and larger cage may have
different guides. A friend has one of those and I will get him to
photograph it.

Thanks

I googled but get different guides.
Are they small, like 5mm, and colored maroon or white?
Those are also used in the 11/44 box and expansion boxes,
I guess every BA11-K.
The BA11-L has white hard"plastic" blocks some 2" long
and has slits for 4 boards.
So, a picture or description would be helpful.
