Lovely green phosphor. Seller had pictures of it working, too!
It definitely came out of an industrial setting, though. The phosphor is burned in some spots for sure and it's absolutely coated in oil and dust. A quick wipe down with wet paper towels and clorox wipes brought it back to reasonable shape.
That machine, a "Supercom Turbo Beltron" uses a DTK Turbo-640 motherboard. It was sold "as-is" untested from a recycling warehouse, and I paid almost nothing for it. Just so happened that it made post beeps when I flipped the switch. This is the only TTL monitor I own currently, so I'm hoping it can be made to work with this machine.
Also, the monitor is all clean now, but the power button does nothing. The monitor shows absolutely no signs of life, so I'm going to pop the cover on it tonight and see what's going on. It seems that moving the motherboard from the original case also killed it - It just makes one long beep now. How wonderful, two things to diagnose!
