Were the VT's compatible with keyboards for the

you think it would work, I could let it go for about $15. plus postage.
Check with me off list if you like. It's in really nice condition and both
the 'riser' feet on the bottom are still intact.
No. All the keyboards of the day were vendor-specific. Even CiTOH
keyboards which had the same phono jack as DEC VT-1XX keyboards
weren't cross-compatible.
I won't say it's impossible to build an adapter, but even when the
plugs match it doesn't "just work".
