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.

Cool. At the moment the innd sort of distributes the uuhec.* hierarchy, but I hate dealing with inn, the config files make me cry.
Will you be able to accept incoming connections to your system BTW?
Yeah. Obviously not until it's running, though. May even UPS back it. I can spare ~60W.

I'll handle the mail gateway, somebody else can deal with the news :)

If it's UUHECnet's news feed, I can handle that once I get my VS4000/60 working again.

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 have an VT420 courtesy of Saku Setala but unfortunately the screen barely works so I've decided to try something else on my client box (OS X):
That reminds me: I need to adjust the height and width on my VT320...I didn't find any controls for it on the boards, so I think I need to swap out resistors that've gone out of tolerance?

Mine worked like any asynchronous serial interface. Plain RS-232.
Sounds like there's a magic switch somewhere ... Now to find it.
The Block/VT52 mode switch was in a switchpack on the bottom of the board, and was visible through the metal mesh that covered part of the bottom of the terminal. I dimly recall it was settable without taking anything apart by poking a paperclip through the mesh (powered off, natch).
Leastways, that's how I recall it from circa 1977....
