My high school had one of those, and a couple Decwriter IIs, on their PDP-11. The III, in its day, was absolutely amazing.
My office had a III sitting in a storeroom years ago, which got pitched in a move. I had no place to keep it, otherwise I would have tried to save it. One of the keycaps was busted as well, and I had no idea how much restoration it would have needed.
