This one is a 1500 and made in Greenlawn, NJ. I suspect (after powering) that
it needs either a switch or breaker, one of them is bad. It does get video and
sometimes ASCII with a power light and a beeper. Not sure if this is because of
no tie to a serial port. The baud switches say that it can go to 19,200 baud.

This building is about a 20 minute drive from my house. It's on Pulaski
Road in Greenlawn. The sign outside now says "GEC/Marconi/Hazeltine" and is
locally acknowledged as a Superfund site (although I never checked if it
made the CERCLA list or not). Place has been there forever and is a pretty
unassuming 2-story Government-style office building, but with no fences or
razor wire. Looking in, it appears that the interior consists of a cube-farm
on the lower floor and some offices on the upper floor. I don't know if
there is manufacturing in the rear or not, although it appears overall to be
a large building.
