PDP 11/23 advice

Opposite problem here - I went to collect a promised 11/23 last weekend that was surplus to a university collection, what I got was a shell with power inlet, power supply, fans and backplane, but not a single board left within. This was to become my first pdp ever, so I'd also like to complete it and have it running... (Shipping the case would have been a problem anyway as I'm located in Germany). Included in my haul were three RL01 and one RL02, the last one even including a pack. One of the '01s seems to be quite early, its white indicator/ID plug bears just the ID "0" in small type while the others have their IDs (2x "0", 1x"1") in large type and the word "READY" below, and it doesn't have the cover release access port on the right, so I don't even know whether there is a pack in that one too yet. Needless to say, an even larger problem to ship. (Shameless plug: I didn't get any cabling for the RLxx drives, just one terminator was included, so I'm in the market for some excess cables, perhaps a second term if I want to make them into two chains sometime, and "2" and "3" ID plugs if I want to make them into one long chain. Everything preferably from within continental Europe for ease of handling.) So long, Arno
