What I remember most, was the quad module backplane had been built with no connection between the top and bottom layers of the backplane. I spent the next semester in the EE lab at school fixing it (I had all the schematics, natch).
When I got there, there was a complete parts kit for a VT05. He said there was a salvage sale coming up and to be there. I mentioned to one of the lead tech's that I was looking for a terminal. Westfield was also building LA36 DECwriters and VT78? terminals. I was a summer replacement tech on the RK06 production line.
