Please Help, Viatron system 21

[Moondog_uk]

Hi guys, ive joined this forum in the hope that you can help me. I apologies if i have posted this in the wrong place.
Ive come across what i belive to be computer parts from the end of the 60s.I did a google lens search but the only item i had a positive result was for the video display, which identified it as from a Viatron System 21. A lot of the items appear to be bespoke or even prototype. 2 of the keyboards have model numbers / make but cant find anything on the net.. Any information to any of the items in the pics Would be greatly appreciated . Many thanks for reading this. Darren

Here is the link to the pics.

You appear to have a random collection of bits. Keyboards which appear to be from ICL key punches, Display Screen, but no actual computer bits.

Plenty of hits when you search for "Viatron System 21" that show what you are missing,

Is there any value to any of this? ..
If so can someone point me in the right direction as where to sell .
thank s
Darren

I doubt it. The keyboard with the white keys is from a silent 700 terminal and so might interest some one, but I don't think the other stuff would. Sorry

The display was the first computer monitor that I had. I think that I bought it from Meshna in the 1970's. What's inside is a Motorola or Admiral B/W TV chassis without a tuner and some parts on the main PCB, making it a "monitor". Naturally, it is NTSC. It worked for many years and it was also the first monitor that I had on my first IBM PC clone, running a CGA board with NTSC output*. It may have been "tweeked" at the factory for better resolution than a stock television set, as I recall it was pretty good at the time.

* I know that this wasn't very good, but this was the early 80's and I couldn't afford an actual IBM color display set at the time, and I just couldn't bear to do RF to channel 4.

Hi,
thanks for the repth.I had a tech friend come over yesterday. We fired it up using 110v 50htz with a basic camera attached and it worked like a dream. No burny smells.. its in mint Condition and looks new. I want to sell it, is there anywhere you can recommend.
if you give me your email i can send you the video.

Kind regards
Darren
