That is certainly a concern. At least a VT220 without keyboard (which
is what these are) is easy enough to box up.
The VT220s are in Columbus, OH, at the home of FreeGeek Columbus (a
block away from Ohio State). They are in the pile of stuff to be sold
on eBay, but if someone wanted to show up, I'm sure something could be
worked out for a direct donation (they do that sort of thing all the
time for accessory items).
Let me know what you find - I still have access to a small pile of
(dirty but working) VT220s that failed to garner any interest when I
mentioned them a few weeks ago.
I tend to ignore such offers, for the simple reason
few people want to ship them in the USA let alone out of the
country. Right now I am happy with Spare Time Gimozo's
dumb
terminal that is working nicely with the SBC6120 pdp/8.
Sure. It's a great little project - I have a couple, but haven't been
able to find the time with the new job to finish assembling one (but
I'm close).
PS. Still have to pickup a used VGA & keyboard for
it.
I have a couple of 12" LCDs that were in a $10 hamfest box two years
ago and a couple of 15" LCDs that were $15-$20 at the local thrift
store. I plan to velcro the board on the back of one of them.
