I haven't powered that one on, but I suspect its

of the case, though. The blue one was sitting outside in the yard of
a surplus dealer. It will need careful inspection and possibly some
restoration work before power-on.
Yeah, the safety shield is blue (actually sort of a blue-green). I
used one of these in the 1970s and found it useful because you could
display a comparatively large amount ot text (for the time) on a
single screen. On the other hand, once the display was full--poof!--
the screen was erased and started all over again. No scrolling on
these things.
