looking for Hazeltine terminals

I've got one of the original ESPRIT terminals, purchased in '80. I'd be
perfectly happy to continue using it, though. It shows some wear and tear
but no burns and no missing keys. It's the GREEN phosphor model, by the
way, as that was the only one available when they first came out. They
were, IIRC, the first dumb terminal to drop below $999 on the retail (MSRP)
market. I think mine cost $795 and was delivered within a month or two of
their release. It still has the FIRST firmware release in it.
