One of our labs has a lot of GIGI's. (Stop snickering).  A lot of
them are broken. (I said stop snickering).  DEC not only disconnected
their GIGI repair number, but refuse to admit that GIGI's might still
exist, or ever existed. (The general conversation between our local
FE and DEC goes:  "They have some broken GIGI's they want to fix." "GIGI's?"
"Yah, GIGI's... You know, graphics terminal?  G-I-G-I?"  "Who makes them?"
"WE DO!" "G-I-G-I you say?  hmm.")  Does anyone know of a supplier that
will fix GIGI's, even if it requires mailing the damn things to kalamazoo?
(No offense intended to those who happen to be readin this in
kalamazoo)  Any source of parts or print sets other than DEC (who only
every now and then admit that they might have once stocked part
X?)  Any ideas?
