DEC VT320 or VT420. They are reliable, small,
cheap, and easy to
find.
And eat flyback trasnformers like they're going out of fashion. excessive failure rate for "adult" (as
opposed to "PC") computer
equipment, but still. I guess I've just had better luck.
You could find them 8 yeas ago, can you find them _now_?

FWIW, I've not managed to obtain any VT2xx or
later DEC terminal
with the
exception of the VT240. THey're not that common in .uk
Really? That surprises me. They're all over the place here. A
fellow with whom I've sadly lost touch had a warehouse containing
well over a thousand VT320s maybe eight years ago. I think it was in
Virginia. I wonder what happened to those.
