Not really relevant, but I wonder if the Panasonic monitor is also from the same era. Seems very miniaturized for 1976?

- Bluecobra 5y agoThe image caption in the article says it’s from 1986. This Apple I was likely hooked up to a JC Penney TV, with a fine wood grain cabinet.
- elzbardico 5y agoLooks like a broadcast monitor, the kind used by TV studios. And yes, by the 70's they were already all this size, intended to be mounted in racks. More likely it is a repurposed CCTV monitor, that looked like this since very early too (In the 90's worked in place that had a very old CCTV system, from the 70's, with the giant cameras, and the displays were basically this size and format. There were other very small TVs too. It's not like we still used vacuum tubes to build tvs in 76.

- krallja 5y agoI have a Panasonic CCTV that looks exactly the same as this one. It was $27 plus shipping on eBay this year. It uses BNC connectors instead of the later consumer-standard yellow RCA.
- jacquesm 5y agoI took mine from a television camera (the monitor at the back) and it was a lot smaller than that one.
