Hi,
While tidying up I found a Cifer T5 terminal, minus its keyboard.
Does anyone have any info? None of the keyboards I have here work
with it and a google search didn't turn up any hardware info.
Any info appreciated...meanwhile I'll take a look inside and see
if that offers any clues.

So _that's_ how you spell the name! I used Wyse and Cifer terminals at
college in 1987, to connect to VAX 8600s and 8800s. A few years ago I
wrote that I used "Wyse and Cyfer" terminals and wondered why I couldn't
find any info on the Web.
Now you tell me that even having the right spelling wouldn't have
helped! I don't know which Cifer models they were, but they certainly
didn't have the graphical capability of the T5.
Is there any form of address for Cifer on the terminal? I don't even
know which country they came from.

No clues at all...no label of any sort except "220-240V 50Hz". As we
are both in the UK, I suspect they might be British.
