Perhaps someone could take notice of the dearth of
1970s terminals and
haul some out to a VCF this year?
Working on it, but don't know how I would haul them out there on any
reasonable budget. I'm talking with Sellam, but appears *I* have more
interesting terminals than he does!
That having been said, best of luck on your VT52
searches. It was a
bit of a beast, and back in the day, I think most of us were glad to
upgrade to VT100s, but for a number of years, the VT-52 was _the_
terminal to have on ones desk.
I remember seeing one in 1979/1980 and the bell was described to me as
"grinding the gears on a 1952 Chevy" :-).
Even bona-fide VT100s are scarce.
