Wow, you've got your work cut out for you, starting with the 3-phase
400Hz power feed. Did you manage to get the controller for the
display also?
I just have the console desk as pictured in those photos (not of my
hardware, but mine looks comparable).
For dealing with the exotic power requirements, I was hoping that
simply replacing the power supply with a more modern supply would be
sufficient. However, I haven't investigated what the CC545 requires
for internal voltage and current.
My own experience mostly was with the older two-tube
display:
My only experience with CDC machines was through a PLATO terminal.
