[rescue] Looking for an IPX OT: picture of a SLC 4/20 or ELC ?

The ELC was much more desirable since it had a different CRT tube that
held up much better than the tube in the SLC. The SLCs would get very
blurry over time, while the ELCs would stay sharp.

  Hi Jonathan

  That is true, the old black/white monitors were really crisp, but I
  preferred
  the standalone ones myself. Always found the ELC/SLC one to be fairly
  unreliable and because of the lack of a fan always ran hot. Nice
  packaging for
  its time, especially as it had onboard SCSI.
