Got a VCR out and after some adjustments, I can clearly see the menu screen. It is a black and white TV, but that's what I was expecting. I might try to find a place for it in the …

To be honest, wrong voltage setting is what I though caused this. But I am not too knowledgable on such things. I did check your voltage switch location and while your supply is no…

took out the blown components, looks like 4 caps and what I think is a rectifer - rest of the components look 'non exploded' - might be worth ordering up these parts and some c…

I saw this at a thrift store a while back, then I came back today and it hadn't gone anywhere. I got it for $5 and it works (I guess?) It just shows static when you turn it on, si…

There was a lot advertised on newton talk today. Someone had been looking for a battery case. He may have one. But it looks like he only wants to sell the lot.
