Hi Tim,

Good Eye,

I had to look inside but I found a sticker for a Ball Brothers Model TV-50 :-)

The main logic card is in fact a generic Digital VT-100 logic board. Although 
I would guess the proms are different.

Unfortunately the CRT neck is broke :-( 

Was not packed very well at all by the shipper

I guess I can search around for a CRT somewheres unless anyone has a idea. ??

So I guess between this and that SB-11 (And a TU-58 I don't have) we have the 
makings of something interesting for sure. This system did at one time reside 
in the custody of a Harvard professor according to whom I got it from. Wish I 
knew a little more about what it was used for back in the day.
