They are still available occasionally at my local Volunteers Of America
outlet - routinely $5 to $7, keyboard extra. I have one or two including
one that is still performing its original duties from 1983 - a display
terminal for a NorthWest Instruments 68000 bus analyzer. We threw a
defective MFM drive on it (bad platter giving us reduced capacity) and
slapped it and the NW box into a gutted VAX-11/725 case. It was very handy
to wheel up to a test board and plug in... the mono monitor and full-sized
keyboard fit on top of the former VAX without falling off.
