    Cool!  I saw that, and would've chased it if I weren't out of  
 money at the moment.  I sat in front of a 1420, and later a 1500, for  
 a long time many years ago. 
It appears to be in good condition too.  Do you happen to know what
year this would have been manufactured?  Is it one of the Hazeltines
with core display memory that remembers the last thing that was
displayed after you turn it off? 

NO core, that was the 1000/1100/1200 series. Those were early 1970s
as I used a 1200 on BOCES LYRICS TOPS-10 system in '72.

The 1400 series was after the 1500 series and was effectively a cost 
reduced (cheaper to build and sell) terminal.  The 1400 was circa 
1976-78 or so.
