Computer Space tv

Recommended Posts

I have a Computer Space cabinet without the television. Anyone know which model was originally used, and if that model was also sold separately in stores (as a "stand alone" tv set)?

 

Cheers,

Marco

The monitor was a standard store bought 13" black and white television set, several different brands were used (making finding a replacement fairly easy, even today).

Okay cool - much appreciated!

 

Now, what would be a good place to look for these, besides eBay?

You might check around at thrift stores or second hand stores in your area. I see old TVs around here at goodwill and such, though mostly now they are all color types.

 

Good luck finding one!

Marco,

 

The original (the only one I have EVER heard came factory) was a GE 13 knob-type tv. The volume and on/off switch are still used. The tuner was disabled with what John's Jukes (in Canada) described to me as a simple bias circuit which I was never able to duplicate. At one time, I know he had a spare tv for it. Not cheap but its original.

 

Jeff from Videotopia.com had some sort of closed circuit tv camera monitor showing a very nice screen image a few years back. I'll pm you some other details.
