I doubt that as well, but I've found that these surplus property
auction places *rarely* have accurate information about the items.
Some poor schmuck is paid minimum wage to enter all the data about all
this junked property into a database. What do they care if its
accurate? It could be 1976 instead of 1986 and what would they care? By 1979 I remember that the VT5x was becoming rare and
the VT100 was
becoming the dominant model. VT100.net says the VT52 was introduced
in 1975 and the VT100 introduced in 1978.
But GSFC was likely to have still been purchasing new VT50s long after
newer models had been released.
