Thanks for all comments so far. I've reuploaded the pics to dropbox:
i bought a little bit isopropyl, which i plan to use to cleanup the
sticky fluid on the CRT and some other dirt on the boards. This weekend
i'll plan to build the powersupply adapter. I'll update you all when i'm
finished.
Since the terminal is in parts, i'll probably need some help for the
connections. I'm not sure if some cables are missing... (but that
shouldn't be a big problem)
