Though I'm personally biased for the BA23 version after managing a MicroVAX II / VAXstation II for 3 years in college, the BA11 faceplate is a little cooler. Warner Warner

I believe he's just looking for a BA23 rackmount faceplate, an RL02 drive and a 3U blanking plate for those half-height PDP-11 cabinets What are you looking for exactly? Looking at your blog, you are pretty far, having a nice machine there already... Cheers

Looking for PDP-11/23+ parts for museum restoration
Hi All, I'm working on restoring a DEC PDP-11/23+ for the University of Colorado computer museum and I'm struggling to find a few parts, working or not, needed to complete the system. Please let me know if you have any of these items and would be willing to donate or sell them. You can see a blog I'm keeping of the restoration at https://headspinlabs.wordpress.com/dec-pdp-11 When finished, it will be on display at https://mediaarchaeologylab.com/visit Thanks, Steve
