Excellent DG rescue. That's a bummer about the
5821. Can you replace
the CRT?
From an initial look just from the outside, I don't think that's a standard
tube but I could well be wrong. Unfortunately, these terminals are rare
enough that if it works, I will likely actually consider doing the" hot
nichrome wire remove the safetyglass routine".
A few other things I noticed... The floppy drive has a small rectangular
opening next to the drive number decal where I THINK a switch went. That
appears to be gone, just an opening there.
On the TP1 terminal/printer, the enter key is stuck down. Could just be
stuck, or, the spring mechanism could be gone or the key broken.
Oh, and on a different system (my S/130) one of the front panel switches (or
the mechanical switch underneath) is broken. Someone have a spare front
panel board I could rob a switch from?
