THat's *ugly*?! Check out the Varian 620/i series.
Vertical paddle
switches are shaped like really ugly white teeth sticking out of an ugly
square fake-woodgrain skull. Ugh.
Bear in mind when the machine was developed : end of 60's beginning of 70's
Its exterior may leave something to be desired aesthetically but the
architecture inside is truly unique and interesting.
