Looks like a little screen in the movie 1984 based on Orwell. Or Brazil.

Terrific video! I loved your consistent disgust, as if you were someone gutting a fish for the first time. This thing was an interesting problem of packaging, wasn't it? It made me think about how, with some sorts of projects, the biggest problems to solve have nothing to do with the technology and nearly everything to do with...Tetris. Designing all of the boards and components in three dimensions, because the dominant limiting factor is the dimensions available. And the thing looked pretty damn cool disassembled on your bench. Even when it was brand-new, I doubt the CRT displayed a picture as good as that last shot in the video. Are you going to save any of the parts (like the CRT) for future adventures?

I don't seem to remember these.

It seems Sinclair were well in advance of their time, they were making devices with non replaceable batteries decades ago.
