VT320 fault - flashing LED and no HT

I just unearthed a VT320 terminal at the very back corner of one of my
store rooms.

Before I go any further... should it work with a VT220 keyboard? There
was no keyboard when I found it years ago, but I do have a couple of
VT220 keyboards lying around.

Secondly - it doesn't seem to be getting any HT output to the tube. The
green LED D509 is pulsing about once every second.

Is there a common failure mode for these things?

I'm not too fussed about fixing it as I have a couple of VT220s that I
can use as 'real' terminals anyway. If anyone wants it for spares
they're welcome to it (I'm in Cambridge, UK)

cheers

Jules
