bradd1978 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Looking for a 1980's style television set, with the old VHF/UHF dials, etc. Doesn't have to be exactly like the picture I've attached but something similar. At least 13" screen and colour. I've been looking high and low, seems to be tough to find - they are on Ebay but people are asking a lot! Anyways if anyone can help, thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live just outside Vancouver, Canada but I live 10 minutes from the US border and have a mail service I can use. Kinda curious how much it would be to ship something like that?

onlyinajeep Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) CRT tv's show up quite a bit on facebook marketplace, though 27+ inch ones are most common. They are usually free in my area, it costs $15 at the solid waste agency to get rid of tube tvs. search for: old tv, tube tv, box tv, trinitron, vintage tv, or just tv...

I'm looking for a model from the early 80s similar to the picture in my post. But thanks though ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
