No no, I got it for free :mrgreen:. It was taking dust in the physics lab of my university in company with a teletype m43. I brought home both.

Congratulations Retrete! Glad to see you posting the results of your great mod. What you have done it's great, taking a vintage piece of hardware that was useless (you explained us back at MV all the details about it ;) ) and bringing it back to life, providing it with a totally new purpose.

For me it would be even a greater piece of hardware if you would combine such a display/keyboard combo with some tiny computing device inside, such a Raspeberry Pi, for example.

I don't discard installing a new computer inside, in a near-future I'll try to install my actual comp inside of it, and if it seems to work well, install a proper one
The 739x730 resolution could be considered an advantage xD.

Very nice. Gave me a great idea for my raspberry pi. I even have an old monochrome CRT lying around.
