Ah-hah. Found a picture of one.

I don't believe the information on that page is all
that correct, he seems to be describing a Hazeltine
2000 (detatched keyboard, etc). And judging from the
looks of the terminal, model number, etc, I would
guess (guess!) that the 1200 came after the 2000, and
before the 1400/1500 series. Probably somewhere around
the mid 70's.
Well the color scheme (black bezel with beige fiberglas case) is the
same as was used on the H1400, a dreadful terminal if there ever was
one. Since my old copies of termcap files don't even mention this
one, even though they do mention the H1000, H2000, H1400...etc., I'm
going to guess that the H1200 isn't an async terminal at all, but
most likely bisync. The indicators and switches next to the main
keyboard area might be an indication of that.
