Ok, I'll let you have that, I suppose it was ~27 hours :-)

Yes, please check. This one has a circular DIN connector, 5 pins, 180 
degrees, but I don't recall if that's what the vt100 has or not.

Shame that whatever it belonged with wasn't there - if it was just a 
terminal then I expect it got tossed into their CRT pile, and that fills up 
and gets emptied far more frequently than the other bins.
