DEC stuff wanted..

Hi all,

Wheee.. thas been a loong weekend so far, trying to get all the
piles of DEC stuff back into cabinets and in complete, working
order... Then again, one can whine about that here, as we all
do it, sometimes with grumbling wives and annoying kids in the
dim background, but hey.. :)

Anyway. Does anyone have (part of) the following items I could
use to complete the 11/83 (BA123) box:

- BA123 front plate saying "PDP-11/83" - mine says "MicroVAX II"

- BA123 "front panel" switch set - I have one in, but kinda need
  two more, if they're around

- *external* cable set for the tape unit - see below.

I have an Emulex QT13 Pertec controller doing TSV05 emulation-
runs well. However, for obvious reasons, the Cipher F880 tape
drive is external, in a neat "tabletop" kind of box, even, with
the two signal cables coming out and going into the back of the
BA123, through one of the (now empty) faceplates. I'd like to
replace that with a QT13 cab kit for BA123, and a cable I can
plug into the Cipher and then into the cab kit thing, like I
have for the (external) TK50 drive connected to my MicroPDP.

I _know_ they exist, as I have seen them... just don't know where
to look for these gadgets.

Also, if anyone in Holland still has a couple of larger ESDI
drives (600+ MB, similar to RA82) laying around.. pse contact me
off-list.. I need one to emulate a RA82.

Thanks, now back to my cabling issues here... :)
