This looks to me like the power supply and backplane of a PDP 11/05, looks
to be in nice shape. Surprised no one grabbed this yet, esp someone with
an 11/05 that has issues with power supply. Someone might have the missing
parts.

A guy recently contacted me that had an 11/05 for sale, stating his first preference was
it go to a museum and if that failed, he wanted to sell it. I sure hope he's not
parting it out on ebay....
Please don?t email me about it... if the museum he's currently talking to doesn't
take it, I'll post it as 'equipment available' here.
Best,

It looks to me like a standard Unibus expansion chassis (a BA11-KE, as the
auction says) with a 9-slot DD11-D backplane and a pair of 4-slot
backplanes (not sure what they are, they may also be DD11's, I'm not good
at identifying them from the back ;)). It could potentially be for an
11/05, but only if that 9-slot backplane isn't a DD11-D and is instead the
special backplane for the 11/05 CPU set...

Agreed, but just from what I had worked with it looks like it was from an
11/05 or possibly it was an expansion core memory box. Either way, you
could use it for many things not just an 11/05. The "stock" 11/05 NC
would have had a different box. It would have to have been for an 11/05 S
model.

I agree with Josh upon closer inspection that the backplane may not be for
an 11/05 I'd have to look it up. If so, you'd need a CPU backplane too.
The power supply is part of the BA11-KE, at least you'd have that.
