They keep fading to blank, then coming good again after they've been powered off for awhile. I remember the first time I saw a 3180 and I was super-impressed with the 132 character display for spool files and the 96 key play-back buffer knocked my socks off. I'm not going into any 5251 stories.... except to offer my theory that they would probably (like cockroaches) survive a nuclear holocaust.
