Birth of A Dream Machine - The LSI ADM 1

The Lear-Siegler ADM-1, or Advanced Dream Machine, was a computer terminal, or glass teletype, designed and released in 1973 to offer a compact, low cost serial terminal for business use.  The ADM series of terminals would lead to such iconic models as the ADM-3A, still a high priority for collectors today.

I'd never seen an ADM-1 in the flesh before and pounced when this was offered at a reasonable price.  Does it work at all after 48 years?  Watch and find out!
