They don't make 'em like that any more.

Thankfully.

Loved the classic ion burn on the crt...

And he's not kidding about how dangerous it is to work on, either...


Zaaaaaap!

Just managed to get around to watching that clip - what a wonderful find! The fact that he has a converter for digital TV makes it even more great.

Two converters...

One Freeview box for yer actual digitals, like...

And the Aurora converter to change it from 625 to 405 lines...

405 line tv ran from 1936 to 1983... (when they finally switched the transmitters off).

I remember the day they switched the local transmitter off.

My grandma had me go round to work out what was wrong with her television...
