I think the pool of equipment in the UK is much smaller than the USA and
VT220, and PDP-11 seem to be like hens teeth and much more expensive than in
the USA.
Some stuff I have picked up from local contacts, some from Vintage Computer
Forums, there was a VT220 on there recently
http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?52096-Dec-equipment-available
but I think Rob may have nabbed that, Some from E-Bay, Some from RCM
http://www.retrocomputermuseum.co.uk/forum/
It used to be possible to pick stuff up at Amateur Radio Rallies but that
source seems to have largely dried up these days.

Subject: Finding classic computers in the UK
Hi all,
Can anyone offer any advice on where to find classic computing equipment
in
the UK? I've been keeping an looking for a
terminal such as vt220 for
quite a
while now on eBay without much luck.
Maybe I just don't know the right people?
Thanks,
Aaron
