At the time the 43p-140's shipped with the following:

Power GXT110P Graphics Adapter
IBM Feature Code: 2839

World Data Products normally have these in stock

http://www.wdpi.com/rs_6000_43p.htm

Lots of other RS/6000 parts as well.

the usual suspect, eBay.
A 43P-140 usually came with a GXT110P (low-end,256 colours,$1),
A GXT2000P will also work, has 24bit gfx.

so far, cheapest GXT110P I have found is 75 bucks.
kind of steep for a 256 color basic graphics card... will the 43P-140
run off a serial terminal for a console?

strange,
I recently acquired a GXT800P for 8 Euro and a GXT2000P for 22 Euro on eBay.de.
Multiply this by 1.2 or so and you have it in $.

There's currently a GXT120P on auction, but with 35 Euro a bit steep.
If you want to spend real money for real stuff,
get yourself a 10-pack of GXT4000's for a total of 1200 Euro :-)

I would expect that, but it is less fun.

Yes, like every RS/6000. But ASCII graphics only ;-)
You can use X11 xdmcp for remote display on a headless machine with
serial console.
