| This TV was manufactured in 1991 and still works to this day with no problems (knocks on wood). This must Have been when RCA made their products to last by using quality parts. |
 |
| I use Comcast Digital Cable via an RCA Component video cable (seems to give best picture) because the coax cable seems to blur the image slightly for unknown reasons. |
 |
| The back (The 2 wires go to 2 satellite speakers that I find give better sound then the stock speakers built in the TV) |
 |
| Back sticker shows model and manufacture year. |
 |
| The component video/audio ports and an S-video port to the Left. |
 |
| The back with cover removed (cough cough very dusty in here) as you can see there is a lot of room here that gave me the idea I had. |
 |
| Circuit diagram for any future repairs. |
 |
| The high voltage transformer. |
Now on to my possible mod to make a retro High Def TV/PC setup.
as you can see in the photo with the back off there is all kinds of room, So I was thinking that when the TV gives up the ghost someday I was thinking of gutting the inside and tossing everything like the picture tube and all the circuits and have nothing but the cabinet left even toss the black trim around the screen.
I done some measuring and I believe a 37 Inch LCD/LED High Def TV would fit nicely in the cabinet (might have to do something to cover any possible gaps) and with all of the room still available add a high performance gaming PC in the cabinet as well.
It's only an Idea for the advanced DIYer out there and shouldn't be done if you have know idea what your doing. With everything in place add the back panel with some mounted fans to help move out hot air (4 x 80 mm case fans).
this idea might have been already done but I like to think of the possibility's for older tech that still works and seems part of the family.
