Hi Guys,

Anyone have any idea where I might find some old IBM 4704 terminals in Cape Town?

Working on a vintage project.

Thanks for the help

Tried First Distribution? Speak to the IBM product manager. He might know of a customer who has some 4704s lying around.

If you find anything ask them if they have any old ibm model m keyboards lying around. i would not mind a few.

Unfortunately no luck they didn't even get back to me Been trying a couple other places but not having much success. Anyone have a contact at ABSA (technical) that could maybe point me in the right direction. Managed to discover they did have them.

Terminal emulation is not really what I am after I want the actual hardware, chassis and keyboard mainly. Might do something with the monitor if I found one. I am a bit of keyboard collector so will definitely be looking out for Model Ms/Fs. Will post if I find some extras.
