The KM11 looks like it may be very useful for getting my 11/40's CPU
running again... anyone have any experiences to share using one of these?
Thanks for the suggestions.

Cool, I'll have to pick up an extender from them (looks like one quad +
one dual, since their hex extenders are orderable in quantities of 10
only...). Should be useful for my qbus + omnibus machines as well...
Yup, but not a hex extender. :-) I'd
suggest Douglas Electronics - that's where I bought my quad extender some time back.
I can recommend them as well. They have some good stuff.
There's also an interesting Unibus analyzer
made by Guy Sotomayor, a major collector (and a good guy). You can find out more about
that at http://www.shiresoft.com/products/ua11/Unibus%20Analyzer.html.
I have one of those boards, but since I got it from Guy as a bare
board, I still have to assemble mine - I plan to do that before I get
back into Unibus machine debugging (that and the KM11 - very handy for
debugging/repairing certain vintage items).
If you can't find a hex extender, you can use
three dual-height
extenders, albeit with some mechanical instability.
