Title: robotron sideart - what's that next to the 4?!?
Post by: buddhavelvet on November 24, 2003, 08:31:36 pm

Can anyone with an original robotron tell me what is marked on the sideart, just a few inches up from the bottom of the lower right corner of the 4?? It looks like a small light blue TM (trademark) lettering. I've seen it on a couple of the original robotrons (in pictures), not on the restorations. I haven't seen an original robotron in person since 1982    ::)

Please confirm. Thanks!

Here's a couple pics:

Here's a closeup of the area/item in question:

It's not a booger.

I can't be sure, but to me it looks like TM.

Otherwise I'd go with your original booger theory.

I posted this question on the Williams yahoo group and received this reply:   ;D
