PDP-11/34 & DG Nova-3

Well I picked these up today and have now had a little time to look
over what all is there. I haven't had any exposure to the Nova or
the PDP-11 systems before so I'm a rank beginner with these. Anyone
who can give me a hand with getting these restored and running again
will receive much thanks and maybe a case of beer if they like. ;-)

What should be the next step in restoring these?

I have a DG Nova-3 which is cardless. I have the case but all the
cards have been pulled. No cpu, memory or anything else. I also
have the plug strip from the rack this was in. If someone knows a
source for the cards I'd need to bring this up please let me know.

The 11/34 has a little more with it. I received a 6' rack with a
small storage space near the top which contains 5 disc packs. A bit
below that is a RK05J drive. The drive has no cover on it, the
insides are exposed. I'd guess this isn't normal. Below that is the
11/34 itself. It has the octal front panel and decaying foam in
front. It also contains the follow boards from left to right looking
towards to back of the system:

M7257
M7256
M7255
M7254
M9202
H-228B
H-222A
H-222A
M7850
M9202
M7856
M7258
M7856
M7814
M7859 (Behind this is a M9301YF)
M8265
M8266

I'm currently looking all of these up in the PDP Field Guide.

I'll be posting some pictures of these systems on my website in the
next couple of days.

Thanks for any assistance.
