3D Printer Help

this project i have started is way out of my skill level, but i intend to finish it, i have came to Chief Delphi to get some assistance.

summery of Project.
Create a 3D Printer.
Acquired an Universal Instruments Axial Inserter (old) with everything.
included (2)PMI Servodisc DC Motor 00-01202-090 Type U12M4 (see page 27) and (2) 152-021-250-11UF encoders. Plus a half ton of other stuff. Including a "PDP-11"

The problem is that i don't understand how to run the motors and how to program the PDP-11. my solve for these problems is using "Black Jaguar's" using CAN attached to a desktop PC. also how can the encoder talk to the Jaguar, the encoder has 8 wire output. >> Is there a less expensive and more efficient way to do this? Is this way possible? Anyone live in or around Torrington CT that is willing to help me? Is anyone willing to IM/Video me to help me?
