Some other people mentioned this the last time the

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.
