My first computer was a Poly-88. I had no monitor and
no keyboard.
I read and understood the instructions about finding a TV that used a transformer power
supply. Many newer TV's of that day were not using a transformer for the main supply.
I went to several secondhand stores and found one that would work.
The keyboard was from a surplus Singer data entry machine ( I thought they only made
sewing machines ).
Believe it or not, at one time they even made Flight Simulators. Early
70's I wanted
to work at their Binghamton, NY facility but like IBM in Endicott I
couldn't even get my
foot in the door.
