Joe Garner (Elcompco) used to mount model 3 motherboards with a 5 inch
monitor into Halliburton attache cases for portable elevator data
acquisition systems.
When I was in Chicago a couple years ago, we stayed at the Drake Hotel.
The elevator lobby had a CRT displaying elevator status, and it looked
ancient. Your comment made me go dig up the picture I took of it:

That definitely looks like a TRS-80 to me.
