That is easy, it is fairly common here. I know of a friend who has some.

lookout for one for the last couple of years just
to add to my
collection.
Seems that keyboard collectors like the keyboards
too because those I
have
found but not for sale lately.
They do seem rather thin on the ground. I picked mine up... 15 years
ago now and they weren't that common then. And I had a *hell* of a
time finding a 3279 - the colour version - even then.
Do we have any South American correspondents listening in? I'm sure I
read that IBM had a factory in Brazil producing these - and they kept
on churning 3278s out for some considerable time after the rest of the
world had moved on. I believe it was also stated that there was
considerable redesign using more modern components inside that classic
3278 case on these later Brazilian examples. I'd certainly like to get
hold of a couple.
