If there are any unwanted DEC Terminals in the UK working or not I'd be
happy to haul them away

I think that's the problem; a person would have to be *really* enthusiastic

Local pick-ups are a lot easier to justify, but I've not heard of there
ever being any DEC equipment in use in this area (local government around
here seems to have been on AS/400 in the past, and we're so
sparsely-populated up here that prior to that it wouldn't surprise me if
they weren't on dial-up to remote sites for their number-crunching needs)

I still regret
giving
mine away, and will hopefully find another one sometime! :-)
A year or two back, I had several VT220s available in
dirty-but-confirmed-working shape from an auto dealer's parts counter,
and I couldn't generate any interest. These were at FreeGeek
Columbus, so when they didn't sell intact, they were scrapped out.
They aren't easy to ship, and they certainly aren't light, but it
seems unless they are purchased in person, there's not so much demand.
