Beltel was South Africa’s videotex system. It was launched in 1986 and seems to have been quite active even in 1999 *.

I started out playing with booleans and ended up with some shapes that reminded me of home computing in the 80s; the Atari and Commodore era. So I put a sci-fi spin on it and turned it into a game-ready model.
I was impatient when it came to moving over to Substance Painter so there is some wasted texture space on some interior faces that really should have been removed.

The main unit featured was in the corner of the SHADO headquarters in UFO. Even within UFO episodes, details change as the prop is refurbished. For Space: 1999, some sections are have been swapped around, altered and in one case replaced. The top panel in UFO, with 3 round dials, swaps with the one at knee height, with a square red dial and four green wheels. Two of the middle panels are altered, and the central one has been replaced entirely.

🧠 Neuromorph Mankind enters the age of artificial intellect
1975: Soviet cyberneticist Lana Levitsky designs the world’s first neuromorphic circuit, a true artificial intelligence that crudely imitates the design of a living brain.
SLAVA is finalized and replicated several times, with variations being employed for calculating mission trajectories, code-breaking, and economic planning. Its ability to learn and make decisions is unmatched by any typical computer, although the system seems to settle into a pattern with time.
Within a few years, the neuromorphic circuit is reproduced across the world. In the West, GERTRUDE beeps to life just in time to join the Space Race, roaring off to Mars and Venus. The world had not known yet, but cybernetic life was about to change the system forever.

Now it is time for some TERMINOLOGY…
* NEUROMORPH Cybernetic being inspired by design of a biological mind. Consists of number of components and systems working in tandem to create a living system.
* NEUROMORPHIC CIRCUIT or CORE Device that contains mind of NEUROMORPH, not including extraneous systems. Analogous to biological brain. Often spherical.
* HEURISTIC WORKER Primary component of NEUROMORPH that responds to input, traverses links, and organizes data within other portions of the system.
* HARD MODULE Hard-coded block which provides baseline skills, rulesets, and memories for NEUROMORPH. Each NEUROMORPH has a number of HARD MODULES, and a HEURISTIC WORKER cannot manipulate the contents of a HARD MODULE.
* DEEP MEMORY Enormous storage banks to which HEURISTIC WORKER reads and writes. Besides storing all kinds of information, this system also stores LINKS.
* LINK Pointer between memories, skills, and whatever else is stored in DEEP MEMORY and HARD MODULES. Critical to learning and decision-making aspects of a NEUROMORPH.
* VIRTUAL MODULE Block made entirely from LINKS pointing to other LINKS which develops over an enormous amount of time and experience. One theory suggests that VIRTUAL MODULES naturally “fill in the gap” for missing systems that would otherwise be present in a biological brain. VIRTUAL MODULES can bypass logic in HARD MODULES.
* MANIFEST CONSCIOUSNESS Theoretically, consciousness may be correlated with higher levels of interconnectivity within a system. VIRTUAL MODULES appear to confirm the theory, although whether NEUROMORPHS are truly conscious has always been a core point of political contention.
* AUTOMATIC Chassis controlled and operated by a NEUROMORPH, often self-propelled. Interchangeable with robot or automaton.
* MASTERMIND High-intellect AUTOMATIC designed to understand and interact with complex systems. Assists in micromanagement, optimization, and generally assisting human operators in decision-making. Often wired directly into computer networks and permitted to directly control complicated systems.

More info: Akai VT 100 and Akai VTS-110 DX Descriptions | Video History Project - Experimental Television Center
info from previous link
The Akai VT 100 was a black and white portable video system which used ﾼ" tape. Introduced around 1969, the machine could record video using normal audio tape, although the quality was improved when using the Akai's special quarter-inch videotape.
Model VTS-100S is superbly engineered with convenient control panel, Still Button, Index Counter and Automatic Shut-Off. Model VTS-110DX adds off-the-air recording capability and sound dubbing.
Akai VTR systems are truly portable. Zoom lens camera with built-in microphone, recorder and attached 3" TV monitor weigh less than 20 lbs. Record and playback up to 30 minutes on a single 5" reel of inexpensive and reusable ﾼ" tape. Battery or AC operated. Optional RF converter permits playback on any TV set.
