Hi, All,
I don't happen to have a VR201 here right now to measure directly (or
I would just do that), but IIRC, there's a threaded mounting insert on
the bottom (for the "E.T. Stand", if nothing else), I want to
fabricate a shelf clip for a VR201 and am seeking the diameter/thread
pitch for the insert. Does anyone have that info handy? It's likely
larger than 1/4-20 from what I remember.

10-32 is the most common rack mount screw. Is it a standard rack rail?

No. The VR201 is the small monochrome monitor found on DEC
Professional machines (Pro325, Pro350, Pro380), the DEC Rainbow, and
later DECmates (II, III, and III+), as well as the monochrome version
of the VT240. It is similar in shape to a VT220 but smaller. There
are either 1 or 3 metal threaded inserts on the bottom of the case (I
don't have one here and I couldn't find a photo of the bottom) as best
I can remember. They should be larger than a #10 machine screw, and
possibly larger than 1/4".
