I can’t get anything on the built-in green CRT, not even a cursor of some type. I guess it’s not happy that it’s lost its master - whatever mainframe that drove it back in the day (the other very obvious possibility is that it’s broken in some way). When I initially power it on, all the red LEDs on the keyboard light up and the main unit emits a steady beep that never stops. It has four connectors in the back: a DB-9, a DB-25, a DB-15, and a female BNC jack (see picture below), labeled J1 through J4 on the chassis. I’m not sure what system it was designed to hook up to, but it appears non-standard. So I went for it, not only because it looks cool, but also hoping that it might be a standard RS-232 serial terminal. All I knew about this box before I bought it was that it was an airline reservation terminal at some point, and that it cost $2.
