Heh. I am actively looking for a Beehive, and several
other old/weird terminals too. But I can't afford to
spend anywhere near that. For example, that Soroc on
eBay - it's a store item for $120 + $60 shipping. I
could never justify spending that much money for a
terminal. (Especially one in as bad a shape as that
Soroc!). I collect terminals, but I just don't have
deep pockets.

But, I am glad that Richard found one, and congrats on
the Tek 4014! That's a really, really sweet terminal.
Anyone got one that needs a new home? <grin>
