As noted, in another reply, the DEC VT-5xx terminal series was mfg. by ADDS.

Boundless Technologies (former ADDS) shutdown sales a few years ago.
They will service & supply parts, as long as inventory of proprietary parts 
exists.

Subject: Broken VT510

I recently brought home a VT510 that has been sitting in my office, rescued 
from a lab from way back when it was a DEC office (ZKO).  Unfortunately, when I 
plug it in and push the power switch, nothing happens.

Rather than just open it up and poke, I was hoping others here might have some 
experience with that model.  Are the schematics anywhere?  Not on Bitsavers as 
far as I can see.  Are other terminals at all similar?  The newest schematic I 
see is for the VT340.

It would be nice to get the terminal working again.  Alternatively, a wild idea 
would be to use the CRT in place of the "screen fungus" infested VR201 CRT I 
would like to repair. Any chance of that working?
