The PDS-1 was born in 1969:

While the screen orientation is similar to an Imlac, the keyboard
layout is slightly different (skewed numeric keypad layout) and
the case styling is different. Additionally the Imlacs have a
computer section usually built into the table on which they sat.
I'm trying to decide of the size of the seemingly solid text on
the screen in the terminal in question implies raster?

PD's ?Vice Control? division):

This was in the September 6, 1969 issue. It reminds me a lot of an Imlac, but this is a
bit too early ? as far as I know the Imlac was early 1970. Anyone have any ideas what
that thing is?
