That’s the famously heavy Trinitron-powered VRT19, the one that was on my
hallway floor when you came to visit in happier climes. it’s a workstation
monitor, RGB+sync-on-green and is for pretty much anything DEC with a 13W3
video connector. Not VT240/Rainbow. Remember me telling you about the static
shock trick you could pull on people? :)
