Similarly, if anyone in the UK has a VT100 or VT125 (or an ASR-33) which is
surplus to requirements I would love to get hold of it as I don't have any
of these.
Regards
Rob

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

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. about them to justify the shipping costs, when they
could spend that same
amount in shipping something far more interesting.
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)
cheers
