I recall reading that at the peak of production DEC was cranking
VT100's at a rate of 1 per minute.

That's surprising - I've been looking for a Tek 4010 for a very long time, and
have only seen one for sale. It was on eBay and I missed out because eBay timed out the
login session, so when I tried to put in a bid at the last minute it booted me back to the
login screen.
It went for less than I was willing to pay, but at the same time, there's no telling
what the other guy bid.
Granted, I don't have any automatic alerts set up to email me in case one pops up,
which I suppose I have to do. I've only seen the one on eBay.
Of course, if anyone *has* a Tektronix 4010/4014 they're willing to sell, I'd
definitely be interested in buying it, but I just have not had the opportunity.
VT52's, on the other hand, I've had opportunities in the past, but in both cases,
the seller flaked and dropped communication.
And VT100's - I've got a couple. They're uncommon, but there are definitely a
lot of them out there. I just wound up with another one last week, along with two
CIT-101's (clones), which I actually find more interesting (and less common)

Speaking of elusive... would also love to find a
Tektronix 4010, but...
I've actually found 4010s more readily than I have found
VT52s.? Been
looking for a number of years and still haven't come across
a VT52 at
an affordable price.? I've found a number of
4010/4014s at affordable
prices.
