WTB: Video Data Systems (VDS)/Keywest CG 830/840

I understand this is a television broadcast-related device; if this isn't relevant to this forum, I do apologize. I have seen others posting about video equipment here in the past so I figured I'd give it a shot.

I am looking to buy a Keywest Technology/Video Data Systems (VDS) CG 830/CG 840/CG 830 EAS/CG 840 EAS unit. These were extremely common in television broadcast environments as part of the Emergency Alert System - they are Character Generators (CGs) and generate the on-screen alert crawls, often connected to a Sage EAS box. Despite their widespread use I have been unable to find one even after several months of searching.

If anyone has one they'd be willing to sell, or knows someone who might, I would most definitely be interested.

(If anyone has a MHz Sub-Alert AV-EAS/CG, I'd also be interested in buying it. These units were simply rebranded VDS boxes.)
