This is me looking at your score enviously. This is me muttering "damnit". This is me jabbing you in the arm for such a nice find. This is me congratulating you on rescuing a great box! =)

I particularly like the '80s Sony portable TV. Cool Does it have any inputs for audio and video so you can use an adapter and plug a digital reciever in it, so it can still be used when everything goes digital? I have a '80s Panasonic TV which my digibox is plugged into. It's my everyday TV. Smile

i have it plugged up to a dvd player so i think i can do the same way for a digital reciever. and i think i can use the inputs of a vcr the same way
