I’d guess it would be easier to find a complete Robin (vt180).

I’ve recently come across 1/2 of an upgrade kit for the VT180 ( which
upgrades it to a CP/M based machine — see :
https://dunfield.classiccmp.org/dec/vt18x.pdf ). A friend around the
same time rescued a floppy chassis which was also part of the upgrade.
The problem is that we’re missing the PCB parts of the upgrade. This
includes the VT180 paddle board, the VT18X Control board and maybe the
VT100 expansion backplane. ( I haven’t opened up my VT100 to see what it
has inside - I’ve only used it as a terminal ). ROM images are available
and the partial kit I believe has all the standoffs, cables, badge, etc.
Anybody know if anybody has made any reproduction PCBs for this upgrade?
Or anybody know where I might find any of these parts? It would be fun to
perform this upgrade and show it off at our next VCF-SE.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
