@kbob It's not a standard PDP-10 thing for sure. The display is the "color scope" by DEC. The story goes (not confirmed) that two were made as an experiment, and one was given to MIT's AI lab (apparently a popular dumping ground for DEC hardware). This would have been around 1970, give or take a few years.
You can think of it as a point-plotting device, similar to the Type 30 used with the PDP-1, except lower resolution and four bits each for RGB. The tube was supposedly a regular NTSC.
