In E40-008 there is a monitor with what appears to be a power problem.
The system is in the nearest row.  The monitor (SN 2A23013979), last I
looked, was hooked up to Wham.mit.edu (SN AB32403DQ4).  That monitor
also serves another maxine, whose name I forgot (SN AB323004OR).

The monitor displays fine for maybe 5 seconds at a time, but then has
what looks like a power glitch for a moment, after which it recovers.
I tried the monitor with video input from the other CPU, but the
problem persisted.

I did *not* think to power down the monitor and switch its power
source (which currently is tapped off of a maxine's (Wham's?)  power
supply), so maybe it's a problem with one of the CPU unit power
supplies.
