Just the tube color (I forget which letters are which colors, but DEC sold
"paper white", amber, and green. I don't think I have any amber VR201s
at home, and perhaps only one white. Most of mine are green (and attached
to working devices ;-)
For a while, they were as cheap as $5 at Hamfests and so on. I haven't
seen one sitting out for about five years. My GG2 Bus+ test computer
is an Amiga 2000 with a VR201 and a custom wire harness that taps its
12V off of the Amiga PSU - I didn't have a spare RGB monitor to dedicate
to the test bench, and the A2000 output is mono-only, so it seemed like
a natural fit.
