The AT&T Sceptre #videotex terminal survived its trip to me, looks great next to a WE speakerphone!

Opened it up to check caps and wow what a number of bodges! Identified only a handful of chips including an AMD 8088 and a Toshiba mask ROM that has a part number only turning up old forum threads of people not knowing how to dump it. I think there are 2 ROMs but I could only find 1. A lot of mysterious WE chips, some of which appear to be gold/ceramic (I think, anyway). All the caps seem fine.
