I don't know if it's quite the same there, but here, I just go to the
nearest hamfest. There's usually lots of terminals for sale. I've
gotten vt220's for 15 bucks, and from what I've seen, I could do it
easily again. I might pay a little more or less, but I bought 6
terminals once for 25 bucks, and 4 of 5 worked. Try that, maybe your
experience would be like mine ... but pick the biggest of the hamfests,
they're pretty common, but you want to go to the biggest ones to get a
fair chance at a deal. Good luck!
