Thank you! I couldn't remember if I'd posted it here before, I've been off the list for a while. Because I don't know really anything about it, I'd been operating on the belief the power sent from the PSU was DC. So maybe that's my issue. There is a single 10 pin connector from the PSU to the

Seems to be RS-232 compatible, which in my experience is unusual for a terminal in the early half of the 1970s. It has little serial number stickers tucked around but they're all random numbers, nothing really lines up. A few of the boards have what appears to be serial numbers in the low

Brad, That's a new one on me. But the split CRT reminds me of a 1970s IBM desk computer (it was a computer built into a desk, I forget the model number) and it had a similar display. I wonder if this isn't some third-party IBM compatible terminal? Sellam On Tue, Jul 4, 2023 at 10:27 PM Brad H
