I have a complete VT14 (except for possibly the cover screws) 14/30,
14/35, and a lot of options available for serious inquires. It was
going to be a project down the road, but I need to shorten my list due
to health issues,
Does any else out there have one, or even know of one?
Please feel free to contact me off list.
Thanks, Paul

I would very much like to see some pictures. Never seen one.

Hopefully this is a link to the pics. From what I have heard, this may
be the only one left.

Wow, it's in pretty rough shape. that hole in the top is not stock :-)
The top should be white.
The VT14 was used to create ladder logic descriptions which were downloaded
to Industrial 14s (second-generation PDP14 programmable logic controllers).
It is basically an 8/e with ROM and a high speed serial interface card. This
was the machine that the VT8/E was developed for.
The company I worked for in the early 80's (Process Control Systems in New
Berlin, WI) developed code which did the same thing under OS/8, eliminating
the need for VT14s.
11:38 p.m.
The top is aluminum with a square mesh area for ventilation. It was
black but some of the paint has flaked off. It looked like the
original cover to me. A white terminal in an industrial enviroment?
There were two keys missing, and one was inside, maybe the other one too.
I have extras for most of the boards, bot did not see a DEC part
number on the power supply, and have no idea what's in there.
I've seen worse come out looking great after a good refurb.
