In my own 'collection' of old terminals I
have:
Teleray TE-10
Digital VT-52
Telerays also seem to be quite rare. I've not been able to find one to
add to my collection :-). As Chuck mentioned, once the Wyse brand hit the
shelf, a lot of these other terminal vendors couldn't compete and died.
There were a *lot* of terminal vendors in the late 70s/early 80s and
most of those died off by the late 80s and the market consolidated to
just a few players. (Also people were shifting to PCs and workstations
from terminals.)
There's nothing more frustrating than finding a nice rare terminal on
ebay and having it packed so poorly that it arrives as a heap of
smashed plastic :-(.
