Stranger Things season 2 trailer - Commodore 1702 monitors?
Hi everyone, This evening I watched the new trailer for season 2 of Stranger Things (Netflix) , and I'm pretty confident that a bunch of Commodore 1702 monitors were used in a scene approx. 1:06 in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgS2L7WPIO4 For those who may not know the show, it's set in the early 1980s and is extremely faithful to the time period in terms of plot and props. Let me know if I'm completely off, or if I just happened to recognize something. Thanks! Christopher Gioconda
Yes- So typical too that lots of them are missing their control cover. On 7/22/2017 11:52 PM, Christopher Gioconda via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

Definitely 1702 monitors. Looks like they smudged out the model number and almost the Commodore logo. Sometimes shows do this to make things look generic. The Commodore PETs that I sold for the show "The Americans" took off all logos of the machines. <https://www.avast.com/en-us/lp-safe-emailing-3176-b?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=oa-3176-b> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/en-us/lp-safe-emailing-3176-b?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail&utm_term=oa-3176-b> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Sat, Jul 22, 2017 at 11:52 PM, Christopher Gioconda via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
