Correction - I did have a CIT-220, and now I remember that the
keyboard is not a drop in replacement. So I take back my previous
statement. Here is a picture I found but I don't have a picture of
it attached to the DEC Workstation it came with.

good question. I have a CIT-101 which is the VT-101 clone. I never
tried swapping keyboards but it sure looks identical to any DEC
keyboard. If I was to bet based on what I have I'd say yes, any DEC
keyboard compatible with a vt-220 would work in the CIT. I think that
was their business model back then, I used to know a guy who bought
used DEC terminals and replaced them with new CIT's (I think it was
CIT), and then sold the used DEC terminals to companies in the used
DEC hardware market. Pretty slick business model IIRC.
My CIT-101 came from a Commodore employee, I live near there and one
of their engineers used this terminal, but no one "famous".
I don't have any other CIT terminals. Sark in the vcf forums would know.
