Speaking of old terminals.... anyone have or ever use an ADDS 580
(I'm going by memory, it's been over 20+ years since I used one).
Big, heavy, but as I recall had a nice keyboard. I seem to recall
there were white and amber (and maybe green) phosphor models...
I liked the amber one.
In my own 'collection' of old terminals I have:
Teleray TE-10
Digital VT-52
(I'm not bothering listing anything newer than a vt100)

Some other people mentioned this the last time
the Hazeltine 1x00
terminals were brought up by me :-). However, as somebody who
scrounges around for terminals, Hazeltines seem to be pretty rare,
regardless of the model.
IIRC, they were some of the cheapest terminals available in the mid-
70's. By 1980, they were be ditched pretty fast--they were just too
strange (hex 7e escape ccode really did it). The keyboard was
terrible.
I'm not surprised that not many survived. When the cheap-but-not-bad
terminals like the Wyse 50 came out, keeping a dinosaur like a 1400
just made no sense at all.
