WTB WA Late 70's or early 80's color tv

knightasylum · Apr 20, 2018

i am looking for a working (they cant pick up digital channels without a converter box which is fine but i need it functional with static) 15-20 inch color tv (no big console models.)
I would prefer a model with dials instead of buttons, and a cable connection in back (really old ones only have two screws to attach antenna wires and i need the tradition screw on cable connector.
thanks

FYI- they made the two-screw terminal to coaxial converter for them if that helps you broaden the net your casting.

True and I have a switch specifically for my Atari 2600 (which is what I am hooking up to this) but I have found those switches to be so touchy that I prefer the direct connection if possible.

I Collect old Atari systems & games and I am tired of fighting with my 4 kids to get TV time so I thought it would be fun to set up a desk that is just for the Atari, and since it is just for fun I want to use a period correct TV to go with it (the graphics for Atari actually also look better on old tube TV's as well.)
Its a much cheaper hobby then my other one of collecting guns
