I thought my vt100/102 (I have 1-2 of each in working order, except that
the fuse cap on one is missing) had removable keyboards. They're huge
things, make IBM PC keyboards look light, but they are detachable. 1/4"
headphone-style plug and all.

I remember waiting to get onto the two VT125s in the computer lab to play
football on the PDP-11/44 at school. I think it was 125, or maybe 131.
They went into 132 column mode and lost the bottom 40% of the screen or
something, but it was fun. 

I have some 420s, and some 2x0s (one of the model with the base and
separate monitor--even have the modem in it--and a couple of the monitor
unit with lk201 keyboard). I like the 420s. Used to sell the vt510 in its
Dorio avatar for point of sale stations.
