I had an 11/70 service manual as an ebook at one stage, it had full schematics etc, you also have access to various simulators to help you understand the programming interface so i can't see what other info you would need for your restoration, maybe you'd need help jerry rigging some setup to get an initial tape written to get u started?
If you have any questions about the schematics or electrical troubleshooting I'm happy to help although I have never owned a physical pdp11... concepts are the same as any more modern system.
cheers, Nick

No idea. I occasionally scan cctalk, but most of the time don't bother. Too much noise and irrelevant or ignorant posts. However, unfortunately I don't have any better suggestions where to go if you are trying to restore old hardware and don't have enough knowledge.
And yes, I keep lots of different PDP-8, PDP-11 and VAXen running, including 11/70 systems.
