I know that one did get built, though probably not shipped much since TRAX was dead on

Typeset-11 as the terminal for classified advertising entry and low end text entry. It
looks like a VT52 on the outside, but inside are a whole pile of boards, all single-sided
etch with many hundreds of jumpers to compensate for not being two-sided. Not cheap,
presumably, but still cheaper than the VT71 with its LSI-11 and (character-mode) display
processor, very roughly a text-only GT40.

It shows up in some of the DECdirectories (as do
a lot of oddball VTs).
Like the VT62 'TRAX' terminal.
