The VT52 printer used a very odd system. A spiral wire on a drum sat on
one side of the paper and the other a sraight edge.
So you could scan a line at a time. The paper must have been treated
with something or other.
A great project for somebody to try and make. Very simple mechanics, One
turn of the drum = advance one scan line.

I picked up a few of the VT52s today and they looked pretty good. A little
yellow, no burns on screen, nice keyboards. I'll be picking up more later
this week.\\

I'll be picking up a huge lot of DEC and some DG keyboards( no part
numbers yet) over the next few days. I know what some of the DEC gear is
and the condition of it, but not of the VTs. I would expect some power
supply problems, but have no idea of tube rot/burn or cosmetics, except
that all are complete.
I don't really want to have to ship any, but I have reached out to one
list member and will ship to him any possibly others. Boxing them, putting
them in a gaylord and putting them on a pallet is the best I can come up
with. This will be costly and labor intense, and if I have to ship, with
one exception, I would prefer 4 to 6 units at a time.
When I get home in a week or so I'll be putting out a list of unibus
options which include the backplane and boards- like DB11-A bus repeater,
DR11B, DH11s, a lot of com options, RH11, etc.
Any questions, please contact me off list.
Thanks, Paul
