For a more vintage look, one can start with a VT125 and use an
external color monitor (the VT125 looks just llke a VT100, down to the
mono tube, but it has 4? BNCs for an external, simultaneous display.

Dunno what might be older than a VT125 that happens to have color.

The VT240 (VT240 + VR2410 is probably more attainable.  I think they
made a lot more of them.  It's "vintage" if you are trying to aim for
the 1980s.
