The 1510 looks a lot like the Hazeltines the UBC computing centre used
when setting up a student terminal room in 1979 to phase out the
keypunches and batch-mode equipment for student data-entry.
Worst terminals I ever used. Cheap keyboard and blurry white-phosphor
video.
Hardly any of the keys worked when I got that one. I had to sit there
exercising them for an hour or so, until most of them slowly started to
work again. Sometimes anyway. Then the screen wasn't exactly aligned.
Still ,they look really cool if they don't work all that great.
