I still have the same TV I got as a kid in the late 80s! It works great except it has a line at the bottom of the screen but that goes away within about 5 minutes of powering it on. I hooked it up to a Roku and use it to watch old TV shows lol

Heres a picture of it! The picture is much better looking in person, the camera makes the screen look like that

This would be so cool to build into a mame cabinet

I'd love to do this. I watch Cheers, Seinfeld, and Frasier religiously as background noise.

It's super easy! I just got this HDMI to coax adapter on Amazon!
