Managed to grab this FREE 1976 Toshiba Blackstripe 13" Color TV off someone getting rid of it on craigslist.
I called 2 times, no answer. Called a 3rd time and got a hold of the person.
They said they were going to throw it away for recycling or give it to Goodwill,
but then listed it on craigslist to see if someone wanted it.
Anyways, I went to go see it and to my amazement, the thing is near mint !
It looks like it was hardly used ! The picture on it is still great too !
Here's a few pics 8)

You`ve done very well there. Nice piece of retro kit. Would look nice, in a modern flat.

Just regular cable when I feel like it.

Yes of course.

Hook this up to the coaxial TV matching tranformer and put it on channel 3 VHF and it works.
