Vintage Burroughs SELF-SCAN Panel Display SSD 0132 Gnome Electronics MK2301 :
$350.00

Up for sale is a highly rare, complete mid-1970s industrial interface panel manufactured by Gnome Electronics, featuring an integrated Burroughs SELF-SCAN Gas-Plasma Panel Display module and original documentation.


This is a phenomenal, complete piece of computing history, perfect for hardware preservationists, neon/plasma display collectors, or hobbyists looking to build custom retro digital clocks or nixie/plasma test benches. Because it includes the original integrated high-voltage power supply, a dedicated retro-hobbyist can trace the pinouts and get this beautiful neon display running with relative ease.


What is Included in this Bundle:


  • Gnome Electronics Rack-Mount Faceplate Assembly: Features heavy-duty retro "RESET" and "ON/OFF" rocker switches, a multi-position thumbwheel selector module, and a tinted front viewing window protecting the display.

  • Burroughs SELF-SCAN Gas-Plasma Display Tube: Explicitly inspected—the fragile neon-gas glass envelope is completely intact behind the bezel with absolutely no physical cracks, breaks, or gas leaks.

  • Authentic Burroughs PCB with Rare Ceramic IC: The logic board features the official Burroughs "B" USA stamp (Board PCP-81) and includes a highly collectible, vintage gold-pinned Mostek MK2301 ceramic ROM chip, which serves as the character generator for the 128-character repertoire.

  • Integrated Power-One Inc. Linear Power Supply: Model HB250-0.1 (Input: 115/230VAC, Output: 250VDC at 0.1A). This dedicated high-voltage supply is still securely mounted to the open-frame chassis.

  • Original Documentation: Includes the original Burroughs technical bulletin/manual (Bulletin No. 3007, dated April 1975) for the SSD 0132-0080 display system. The manual includes full schematics, pinout charts, and operational characteristics to help the buyer map out the system.

Condition Notes:


  • Untested / Sold As-Is: This unit has not been powered on or tested. Because it requires high-voltage 250VDC circuitry, it is being sold strictly as-is for parts, repair, or historical display.
