Replying to various comments all at once.... I've had another careful look at the black plastic panel. There may be a little adhesive residue on it but not much, and if it is, it looks like the sort of glue on double-sided tape. So perhaps a non-DEC banner was put there by a previous owner. The recess measures 18+1/2" by 3+5/16". Just so we all agree on what is needed. That was measured with a steel tape measure, nothing more accurate. > > If anyone (Rod S.

I would too, unless the price is _ridiculous_. Any idea what the price would be? -tony
