I have a strange nostalgia for amber or green screens, and just had a set of personal business cards printed up with VT-100s as a background image. I see tons of refurbished stuff on ebay etc. but surely there are systems out there that are working just fine on that era's technology and sees no reason to upgrade to anything else. Perhaps there's a niche market for new/compatible terminal hardware? It kills me to see clerks/etc using a WinXP box with a terminal client like PuTTY open. They're invariably also using their terminal to surf the web or chat on MSN Messenger at the same time, the sort of thing I'd not be happy about if I were an employer.
