Oh Gabriel lucky you, I love those terminals, I've tried to look for one on ebay but 99% of those online are without a button or two and: "never turned on, we don't know if it works"

Same here. I'm still kicking myself for giving away a perfectly good VT320 a few years ago, I'd pay good money to have it back now!

A friend gave me a Heathkit H19 that I plan to use. It powers on but there's no raster. None of the caps look damaged, but I suppose I could test to see if any failed closed.

Love that terminal! I built that kit in college. I had a 9600 baud hardwired link in my dorm room to the campus mainframe. Good times :)

I have.the same OKI printer.. but no picture of it with my Altair Clone yet. But I'll definitely bring them together when my new retro computer room is finished.
