new guy here

[Madbrad]

hey everybody. I like old machines but I'll not hardcore. I will never be as knowledgeable as you guys. My first question is what is this?

 

[krebizfan]

It is a terminal. The shape of the case reminds me of Hazeltine but I can't locate an exact match to that model.
If you have a better copy of the image, the badge on the left would tell who sold the terminal from which who built the terminal could be determined. Only a few companies built terminals with standard designs showing under many different badges.

 

[Madbrad]

Thank you. There is no better picture unfortunately.

Thank you. There is no better picture unfortunately.

My eyes are getting older but that looks like a Control Data terminal. A Google image search might help you find an image that gets you to the model number.

This picture shows a very similar terminal: http://i.imgur.com/9r3ZXbw.jpg

Attractive female, computer terminal, lots of wood paneling, okay, I guess it could be a viral promotion for Banacek but that is rather roundabout method for doing it.

I used those terminals when they were new. (Yes, it's a CDC model).

The human model has a bit of a British to her look by her clothing and hairstyle.

I was watching an old episode of UFO and I have to say that the producers' idea of clothing of the future certainly was more interesting that baggy pants and t-shirts.

Well, maybe not almost every, but quite a few.

I think a variation on the 751/752?

I have one of those, a semi-custom job called "Nurse's Station".

I bow to your greater diligence (I suppose that's what it is).

Actually, TinEye, one of my all time favorites, deserves all the credit. Another fine example of what computers are all about.

me spam?

 

[Hedgie]

Hey there welcome to the forum. Looks like that would of been a neat terminal. Guess that would be linked into any mainframe the company would have at the time.

 

[Madbrad]

Someone posted the pic in FB and some friends were guessing what it was. I searched all over the internets and I found the pic in many places too. I could not find what it was though. I really do like looking at old machines. I would still be playing Lode Runner on my sister's MyCom if the 5 1/4" floppy drive hadn't crapped.

 

[Madbrad]

Thanks guys for the answers.
