So the VT241 will work for any PDP-8 or PDP-11 you
eventually get. The other terminals are likely to be EIA

all you have is an EIA terminal).
Thanks for the information! I was most interested in the VT-131, but it looks like the
VT-241 would be a better option since I don't know what computer I'll pair it up
with yet.
The owner says that he's received several messages from folks interested in the
terminals, especially the VT-131, but I'm the only one so far who's close enough
to just drive over there this weekend and pick them up. He seems motivated to make them
all disappear, so I expect that I'll grab all three and then use two of them as trade
fodder for other vintage computer gear.
Now, if anybody within a hundred miles of me would like to trade a good close-to-working
ASR-33 for all three glass TTYs, I'd be all over that... ;)
