[Tfug] Where to get cheap ancient serial terminals.

In my neverending quest to hook ridiculous things up to my system, I am 
looking for very old, homely, clunky, huge, power inefficient, 
retrofuturistic-looking serial terminals.

Besides ebay, which is a little dicey (most people can't test what they're 
selling), does anyone know a good place to find old terminals?  Has anyone 
seen old terminals at Worldcare or maybe at the U of A auctions, or anywhere 
else in town or online?

In particular I am looking for the most ridiculous looking thing possible, or, 
at very least, some kind of classic.

I was inspired by Colossus: The Forbin Project.  I decided that my office 
needs to look more like, oh, say, 1977, than it does.  I got the Apple //e 
serial term working - now I need some blue or amber to balance the green.
