Re: "It looks like the Heath colors from the H8 series. I suspect it is a
very limited edition of a Heath terminal"
Heath never made anything in any color even remotely resembling that [blue],
nor did Heath ever offer a selectric-based product. [The only colors used
by Heath computer products were black, a cream off-white, two shades of
gray, and the beige/tan colors used in the Z-100 and some other products.]
In fact, Selectric-based printers had disappeared (as new products) by the
time Heath entered the PC business, relatively late, in 1977.
