Hello!
Search me. It certainly is an interesting gadget. I'd bid on it, if
those clowns, (not the seller) didn't run such an annoying site.

I do recall that they were very popular at newspaper sites, since the area
on them on the right side reserved for the wave graphics option was large
enough and easily accessible enough to hold a fifth of whiskey, which was an
important feature at a lot of newspaper sites.
Many years ago, my old friend Richard Butler (may he rest in peace) ran a
company with a few friends out of his college dorm room at the University of
Maryland. Computer Timeshare Corporation, CTSC. They had a PDP-11/44 and a
smattering of terminals, mostly VT52s. Of course none of them had the
optional printer installed (did anyone actually order that option??) and they
were well-known for carrying these terminals into and out of the dorm on a
regular basis, as they frequently set up temporary systems for things like
convention registration desks, etc.
They used the VT52s' printer bays to smuggle booze into their dorm rooms. :-)
I'm honored to have those very VT52s here.

I might actually have a spare one of those, strangely enough.
My VT-180 will love you forever!
Well in that case, I hope that's actually what I have a spare of! Please
don't get your hopes up just yet, though; after having slept on it, I believe
the spare cover I have may actually be for a VT125.

Excellent, theres too much pron on the internet already, dont want the
binaries. Just some of the comp.sys groups.
Yup. And really...if I can get laid, ANYONE can get laid. I just don't
see the point of all the pr0n.
Is INN really that bad to setup?
Nah. It takes about twenty minutes.

VT240, VT330, VT340. All are glorious, and all are here.
Glad to hear. I bought a mint VT340 last week after watching it for months
on ebay. Maybe I overpaid for it? ($200), but Im in Australia and they
just dont seem to turn up that often.
I don't think you overpaid at all...I'd be quite happy with that price.

Cool. At the moment the innd sort of distributes the uuhec.* hierarchy,
but I hate dealing with inn, the config files make me cry.
I can help with INN stuff. INN and I have...an understanding.

It's one of those things that's in the works. News as in USENET or news as in our hobbyist UUCP network?
I'll handle the mail gateway, somebody else can deal with the news :)

I' m thinking of repairing the damaged unit but need schematics for that.
In fact, you don't. Open it up, replace the electrolytes. Near them you
may find a blown small element which is not needed really.
The 'X' capacitor? Actually I'd not want to run a big power supply without
that. They're usually not difficult to find, or to replace.

Never seen any of that either. There was a block mode version of the VT100 as
well, if I remember right. Maybe compatible? Although I have not seen the
documentation for that one either.
VT131. Manuals are online.
