I am reassembling a PDP-11/44 from parts for the Rhode

we don't have another RL02 controller.
Do any of you have a M7762 RL11 disk controller board that you could
donate or sell inexpensively for this project?
Can't help on that one...
The RA81s won't spin up, so I suspect that I need
to replace the
starting capacitors.
Do any of you know where to get replacement starting capacitors for
the RA80 or RA81 drives?
I assume you *are* aware of the power sequence bus of the RA8x drives.
Without that one properly terminated, the drives will never spin up.
