Doc's TV set in "Back to the Future"

I know that the prop guys in the first BTTF just put modern TV inside the vintage cabinet. They mention it if you watch the movie with commentary on.

So destroying old TVs in that way is nothing new.

In a deleted scene, Marty asks Doc Brown for a 75-300 ohm matching transformer to connect the camera to that TV. Doc doesn't know what Marty is talking about, then Marty realizes they hadn't been invented yet.

They existed back then, but vary rare. I have one made with dark red plastic from Blonder Tongue, that looks like it dates back to the 50's. Few people used coax for antenna feeds back then.
