Ah! It's 1441-MS4. What's the correlation between the '895' number on 
the front and the model number on the back?

I forgot to say what colour/shape it is too, which was one of the main 
points of what I was saying :-) It's a beige metal square one, just like 
'normal' ones for the Beeb. I've seen Miceovitec plastic-cased CGA 
monitors with high-res tubes etc (in fact I *think* I have some in my 
garage), but never in the beige metal form.
