The plan is to do a full restoration , recap and calibrate the display. I will start a workshop thread when i start the process.

Oh i did not clean that board at all ! It must have had a cover on it as there is no shine whatsoever on the caps! 2 of them have yellowed but they looks like they have never been used , apart from the enter and space bar there was not even any dirt on the caps.

Does anyone know where i can get the plastic trim pot tools, i don't what to go anywhere near that CRT with a screwdriver ( apart from when i am discharging the tube).

if weather permits I do repairs outside. Repairs in the Kitchen? I might get in trouble for that. ;)

Except this one is bing used in its native environment :). I have a wyse 50 and PCE as well :) I wish the PCE or 50 would work with this terminal :P may try it.
