Even after the first 30 years, here's a dumb question: what color is
a VT52? Mine (which does work) is a nice cirty yellow, like coffee-stained

Standard color was a light tan. It should be in the DEC color standard that's
on-line somewhere, but unfortunately a lot of those color references don't translate
to anything we can now reconstruct.
If it's dirty yellow, it probably belonged to a smoker. You might try rubbing it
with Windex, that does a great job removing smoke residue.
