It is so old that not even a PS1 can be hooked to it. x)
In the background you can see my current TV, not sure how old it is, but it's from the late 80's or early early early early 90's. I think it has been in my family since around 1993.

My "new", free, working, Retro, 30 year old charm!
I just got this today, looks like new, and worked last week, as the former owner said, this beauty is 30 years old and is from Philips that made the gaming computer I can't remember the name of atm! It is so old that not even a PS1 can be hooked to it. x)

yep thats an oldie.
you're gonna need a vcr or straight up RF cable to play videogames on that TV.
Does that TV have the Low and High VHF/UHF channel adjusters?
I've had to mess with those TVs before and they do need some fine tuning to get the right station. And you'll definitely need that vcr to find Channel 3 or 4.
Once thats done, you're good to game!
Check the back of the TV and make sure that theres the single plug for the antenna. If there isn't you'll have to go to an electronics store to get the right adapter.
You'll be gaming like its 1987!

Either TVs were very similar back then (quit likely) or my family had/has that same model somewhere. Maybe it is a classic model that was very popular back in the day?

Heh, yup, a channel adjuster. o.o. Tuning is just fun.
I remember we had to do that couple of times on my moms older telly. :3 There is a antenna plug I think, it's a small circle input.
And wow, will be so awesome! Retro gaming at it's finest!
Was probably a common Model. :] but could also have been similar to another model or Television, TV's were pretty similar but never totally the same back in the 70s.Ivo wrote:Either TVs were very similar back then (quit likely) or my family had/has that same model somewhere.
