Not to push the issue, but does this set even have the very old by now "Composite" NTSC video input? I doubt it because I bought the very first set available in America back in 1983 that had one, a component system by Sony ( seperate tuner and monitor) called the Profeel, and it cost $1850 for the pair. If you are still using the old "RF" (channel 3 or 4 ) connection, thats even worse for DVD/VHS. If the set does have the composite input, its most likely a later model than 1983 date given because it took a long time for that to reach lower models and brands too, but its possible it came in in late '83 I guess but not likely, especially if its a console, those were earlier than monitors ( sets equipped with video inputs as well as a tuner) . jco

There it was sitting in the thrift store looking all sad and abandoned, so he paid $15 + tax to spring it. It sulked at first shutting itself off after less than an hour, and graywolf thought he was going to have to turn it out on the streets. But a thorough cleaning, wasn't filthy but 25 years of dust on its circuit boards mostly came off and a night to get used to its new home, and it seems to be working nicely. Like any new pet graywolf is going to have to buy it some things, a remote, and a longer cable as the one he has is not long enough to tether it to the splitter and he has to change back and forth between it and the modem in the mean time. And later a VCR so graywolf can watch movies from the local public library. Maybe an upgrade in cable service. This could be a very expensive pet. OH? The breed? Magnavox 27in stereo console. By its tag it was born early in 1983 and cost $539.97 ($849.95 list). Does that make it an antique, or just an old TV? One would think the thing would take up a lot of space, but actually instead of taking up space it provides a table to place things like the DVD player and the Epson printer on. Anyway as the subject line implies graywolf buying a TV is a very rare occurrence, it has only happened twice in 63 years. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
