Does it have the 'flap' on the right side of the top? The hinges for that 
are clearly visible in the picture of the Petticoat.

How rare is the 9835? OK, it's one family I don't have an example of, but 
I've not seriously looked for one.

To me it looks like an NEC monitor. I have the 9" CRT version on my bench 
as a test monitor, there was also a 12" model. HP adverts showed similar 
monitors with an HP badge on them. The monitor that came with my HP86B, 
although it looks somewhat different is also an NEC (albeit a different 
model), the chassis says NEC all over it.
