Hi all,

I know a few of you have an IBM 5153 (Hi VileR)!

I would like to use an image of the IBM 5153 as an optional frame / shader effect in my emulator, MartyPC, but it might be neat to have images of other displays, too.
Grabbing an image off the internet is fraught with usage rights problems; and in any case many of them are not ideal for my purposes due to angles, lighting or focus, etc.

What I am looking for is an evenly lit, high resolution, well-focused photo of the IBM 5153 monitor including the entire case and controls. Any reflection on the screen is not a problem. If you are able to produce such, and license it for use in MartyPC in some CC or public-domain fashion, please let me know!

And although I'm looking for the IBM 5153 - if there are other interesting or notable displays you might have and think MartyPC could use, I'm all ears!

EDIT: I think I've got the 5153 covered - but if you have any other interesting CRTs, I'd still be interested.
