I would love one, but I am afraid of the shipping costs to Ohio.  I've
had small packages shipped from Toronto and it seems to run over
$10/lb.

I can't be certain, but the height and the appearance suggest to me
that they are.

Thanks for the info!  I can check the bottom of a VT52 to see what's
there at those dimensions - feet or any corner/edge features.  Anyone
have a photo handy of the bottom of a VT52?  With a scale ruler?  I
can take one but it'll be a week or two until I'm in the right place.
