Thanks to anybody have given a response. (some personal mails).

I successfully reassembled the pdp11 after changing the two blown
filters. We have a small electronic shop in Bonn, which had the
stuff available:

So now I can successfully start and stop the machine. 
I am planning the next steps, may be I will ask some more questions 
the next days.

best regards
