I don't know how much of a purist you are, but it shouldn't be hard to find
a VT-100 _compatible_ terminal. Most terminal manufacturers made them at one
time. Wyse made dozens of models that had very good emulation, and several
are still produced (Wyse 55, among others). Used ones are common out west.
And you never know what you'll find if you look long enough. A few months
ago (due to space limitations and lack of need) I passed up a "mint in box"
DEC VT-100 at a thrift store; it still had it's original styrofoam packing.
So keep looking!

Cheers,
Mark.
