I must be very lucky ...
I own a VT55-FB (similar to VT-52), one VT05 *and* the Dasher D2.
I might sell the Dasher D2 for a good bid (but you would have to take the
printer and the DG NOVA 3 as well, so shipping is no option).
The VT05 is very dear to me, but for 250K I'd sell in a wink of an eye
(but still with pain in my heart, it *is* a beauty!).
Of course I have some other "VT" terminals too: 100, 220, 240, 320, 420,
510 and the VT525. The latter is not really a terminal like the rest. It is
a
base unit to which you connect a VGA screen.
I just wished I had the space to set them all up neatly, and connected!

What about the
VT05? Its quite cool. And has the most space age
influenced
design I've seen...
Yes, and the original Data General Dasher D2 as well.
The VT100 was clearly entirely designed by engineers (as was the
VT-50/52), but it looks like they actually hired an industrial design
consultant for the VT05. Past the VT100, all terminals get really
boring looking. Perhaps there are a few exceptions, like the chiseled
look of Wyse tubes.
