Yes, it is a space command set and it does have a green LED channel readout. The keypad is behind the door. There is also a chromatic switch.
I don't know what I'll end up doing with it. Most of the general public wouldn't have it if I gave it to them. If I gave it to the thrift store, it would just sit there forever with a $100 (or higher) price tag until they got tired of it sitting there and dumped it. I gave the last console I had to a needy person; and, they actually appreciated it. If I strip it, I'll keep you in mind on the parts. It really needs a new CRT to play really well. This looks like a very high hour set. This set uses the tripot tube that was used in the earlier system 3's. In '84, I think they went to the newer version inline tube that's still used today.
