The thing pulls about 25 kW, so he doesn’t turn it on very often.

That one is not in very good condition.

They had a polarized plastic cover that went over the face of the CRT, so it all blended into the trim in a very snazzy way.

I know it had 4096 words of core memory. The words were 12 bits long too, plus a parity bit.
