I picked up a VT220 passing by some clean out a while ago.
Green phosphor, powers up and passes self test.
The keyboard has 3 broken function row keys, keycaps.
Free to pickup in North Andover.
Shipping would be heavy and awkward with the CRT.

Looks like both of them are North of Boston, but one is like a 19 hour drive away and one
is a half hour drive away.
I'd guess the half hour one. :D

There are apparently 16 Bostons in the USA

I believe this is on the same isle, and the same state
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston,_County_Clare
I checked on Google Maps and there is a big sign saying welcome to Boston
and little else, so I suspect a total lack of VT220's

You say that, but Galway is just a county over, and DEC had a large
manufacturing base there. It's entirely possible for there to be a VT220
rotting in someones loft or barn in the vicinity of Boston, Ireland.

Perhaps you could differentiate by how far it is from Springfield.

Unless the VT220 is on Evergreen Terrace, "The Tire Fire" might be a more
recognizable landmark.
