Awesome score Gav, old CRT's are the best to work on and maintain forever, at least you can get to the parts and change things, unlike later TV's (before lcds) where custom chips would always blow and leave the tv written off :-(

Pity theres no more analog TV to watch on it, so you'll have to hook up a vcr/dvd or old tv tennis game as suggested ;-)

Well done.

$25 from Jaycar and you get a digital antenna that plugs into the back.. so can watch TV.. but.. I don't really watch TV, I find it too irritating, so select programmes only. An old ATARI system would be good to hook up I reckon.
When I opened her up.. its cock a block with circuitry.. not an inch of space wasted. Bloody thing rolls about as you fiddle about as you have to take the base off to open it ..LOL.
Im glad I got it working.. theres an 8 track and turntable that go with it. Turntable just tipped $560 on Ebay though so ill live without that one
