Looks like an interesting item for a total of $11 including shipping. But
does that include the keyboard? Neither this listing nor the last one I saw
on eBay showed a picture of a keyboard nor explicitly stated that a keyboard
was included as far as I could see. Do these ELT320 terminals use a
standard interface keyboard that is easy to replace if you get one without a
keyboard?

Second time around, I won an ELT-320 on ePay...

I doubt it.
Neither this listing nor the last one I saw on eBay
showed a picture of a
keyboard nor explicitly stated that a keyboard was included as far as I
could see.
My observation as well.

keyboard that is easy
to replace if you get one without a keyboard?
Yes. According to http://www.pds.planar.com/prod_ctr/elt.pdf it's
a DEC LK401-compatible. That's my next challenge. OTOH, as long as
I'm not using this with any software that requires a DEC numeric keypad,
I _think_ I can get away with a different keyboard (not sure about
entering setup mode with something else).
I'd rather have had the one that sold previously, with power brick and
manual, but this was only the third one to come up in recent weeks,
so I jumped all over it. Not complaining about the price. :-)

The ELT320 can use either an AT-type keyboard or an LK201-type
keyboard (I have an LK401 connected to mine).
I've got time this week to check out the power supply if you
haven't had someone else to send it to you, Ethan.

Cool! I was hoping that was the case - I have a Happy Hacking
Keyboard ( http://shop.store.yahoo.com/pfuca-store/ ) that I was
going to throw in a laptop case with the ELT-320 for on-the-road
use (like at the server room). Still need to score a real LK401,
but I can steal an LK201 from a VT220 for the short term.

One offer to look, but nothing has been sent to me yet. I'm hoping
to get a PSU cobbled up by the time mine arrives. :-)
Thanks,

Sorry to take so long in getting back to you, but my hard drive crashed and
my DSL went
down, both in the same week, but unrelated...
I have an ELT320. It has a connector on the back for either a PC/AT (large
DIN) or a
DEC LK401 compatible keyboard.
The terminal also requires a 12v 2.5a power supply, which plugs into a 6pin
DIN.
