  • PDP-11/44 gas struts

    I have a PDP-11/44 system in the DEC 41" high cabinet.
    It is designed to be tilted up for service, aided and
    supported by two gas struts, one on each side.

    Unfortunately, after all these years, the struts have
    failed and do not provide any assistance. That box is
    heavy!

    Does anyone know where I can get replacement gas struts?

    Thanks,
    Alan Frisbie

    Look on youtube for ways to re-pressurize the ones on cars.
