All — I’m in the process of restoring a Heathkit H-11 and I think I found a suitable paint match. Available at Home Depot, there is a Rust-Oleum spray paint/primer combo called “Matte Ice Gray” which is a nearly perfect match. I need to give it a quick sanding tomorrow and another coat of paint and then a clear coat and I think I’ll be in good shape.

Here’s a medium-res picture. The new color is on the left of the bend in the metal; old color is on the right.

http://www.classiccmp.org/cini/systems.htm Look for “Heath H-11” and there are three pictures. The repaint job isn’t perfect, though. If I could have safely removed the switch label I might have been able to dip it to remove the paint to the bare metal. At least, now, it’s better than flat black. Horrible black paint. It must have been like “theater black” that stage crews use to paint the walls/sets.

Thanks Evan. If the “missing link" is for the H-11 manual, I don’t have it yet but I left the placeholder for it. I found someone on-line with a copy of it and I’m in the process of acquiring it, and then I’ll scan it. I also can’t locate a manual for the 16kw memory card. Separately, there is a link for the 1975 LSI-11 Handbook. That was given to me by Jay West for scanning since it’s not on-line anywhere that we can find.

You didn't link the PDF there.
Thanks Evan.

Nevermind, my mistake. I thought the bullet point for "Heathkit H-11 System (case and power supply" would have a PDF link to pictures just like the points beneath it. But now I see the pictures beneath all of those.
looking... no find.. On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 10:53 AM, Richard Cini via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
