After my initial post, I did find a mention of positionable cursor and
such in some docs on Bitsavers and Manx.

It's not a custom IBM part, but it is an uncommon one. As mentioned
earlier today, it appears to be a Littlefuse series 348. I've ordered
a replacement.
I was just gifted with an IBM 3101-12 ASCII
terminal...
I'd open up the case and see if you can find out who made the whole fuse
holder assembly. Lots of outfits made "fancy" fuse holders that were
different entirely for visual appeal. Or, just browse through the Digi-Key
or other catalogs and try to find a fuse holder that fits the opening in the
case. I'm sure it was NOT a custom IBM part. Also, I found
only a little info on it from Googling...
It definitely has cursor positioning commands. I ran one on a CP/M system,
and added in the cursor and other commands on a configurable editor and used
it for some time.
