On Tue 21 May, John Hearns made the following spurious claims:

Nothing to do with your question but I thought I'd mention it.  I
visited a supercomputing facility in Berlin (formerly East) a few
years ago.  In the lobby they had a PDP-11 standing alongside the
Russian clone.  The two machines were identical except that one had
Cyrillic lettering.

So I imagine if you really needed PDP-11 parts you could get them from
the former Soviet bloc.
