Ugh - this is super frustrating to see. Especially since I have a 3101
here with no keyboard. And the reason *why* it has no keyboard? It got
bought out from under me. I bought this terminal, complete, on eBay.
It arrives... with no keyboard. I complained to the seller, he
refunded all my money and
I can confirm that the media is starting to degrade - at least, it
does if it wasn't stored properly. I have a couple of cartridges here
that are shedding badly. You can manually open the cartridge by
tripping the catches and sliding the door open, and look at it. Here's
a picture of such a sheddin
Someone linked this to me on IRC. I called, but it was already
claimed. Just hope it gets to a good home.

I'm definitely interested in the Ann Arbor terminal - I have sent you
a couple of messages but haven't heard back - I'm not sure if I have
the right address? Let me know. Thanks!

It's been a long time since I've asked about this, so I figured it was
worth another shot. I've been looking for an Ann Arbor Ambassador
terminal for close to fifteen years, with no success. It's kind of an
obscure model, but they did exist. I heard of one being available
several years back, but, u

Most definitely. Having dealt with a *lot* of terminals, and had many
of them shipped to me - I have had at least two VT1
Yes. It's the PVA compound leaking out of the picture tube, from
between the faceplate and the tube itself. I see this on lots of
terminals and monitors. You need to remove the picture tube, heat the
faceplate and separate it from the tube, and clean up all the brown
goop, and put everything back t

Which is a fancy word for "unusually heavy for its size".

I can't seem to get the link to work with the pictures, so I don't
know what the tube looks like, but sticky fluid is NOT an indication
of a problem with the tube. Some tubes used a bonded safety glass, and
that goo leaks out over time. But I've never seen a VT100 with such a
tube installed. The mo

Neat! I used to have a Deskpro 50M that I used for a long time - this
was back when it was only kind of obsolete. It was the 486 version of
this. I gave it away when I moved many years ago and haven't found
another one since. I kind of miss that box, it was... interesting.
Neat to see one that surv
