What should I do with it? It powers on, but cursor just blinks. I'm guessing it needs to hook to something RS232.

Is this thing worth keeping? Clean it up? Does it have any value? It's in 'ok' condition but the keys are sticky and it's a little roughed up.
 
Yes, it's worth something. What part of the world are you in? I might be interested.

Thanks.
 
The down arrow from a VT100 keyboard might be close enough to work on this keypad. Also, I'm sure that the down arrow isn't the only key to have a plunger cracked at the corner if some keys feel "sticky". Whoever ends up with this terminal should check how many keys have cracked plungers. I might be able to help them.

To the OP, yes, you should sell it. If you have no use for it yourself, sell it to somone who would want it. You will have no trouble finding them.

Back to my first response, sell it. I know I for one would buy it regardless of condition. Deflection problems, hell I grew up grew up working on televisions so don’t see that as an issue, anyway anyone who owns this sort of stuff is going to be working on it eventually.
