Why dont you run over that with the lawnmower and ill send you a watchman. I have a few floating around here somewhere with spots teams logos printed on them.
What am I ever going to do with all this junk!
You can get a BT modulator going on a good homemade antenna and take the micro tv outside when you have your ciggyclogger.

I get 500' of coverage easy with my modulator and antenna on a watchman.

ctc17 - I like junk, you have anything that I might be interested in the way of these small CRT or LCD TV sets? What model Watchman TVs do you have?

Someone at the swap meet had a big box of them, I felt sorry for them and got the whole box. Its around here somewhere, I have no idea where.

The small stuff just isnt real practical sense the analog shutdown. Ohh and my eyes suck so that really makes them pointless.

Ill look around here when I get some time and Ill give timmy first shot sense he seems to like tvs that require B&D to get working.

I do like and have several restored 60s vintage small metal sony sets. Those are super cool.

well when i get tired of trying to get it going ill try the lawnmower,lol. and what you should do with all your junk is what dont work you should get going including these little tvs,b@w or color much harder then the tube sets but im sure you can get them going. this 1 inch tv is weird i have never seen a crt as small as this but it would be funning to get a pic on it. and besides if i get it going i just have to clip a 75-300 trans to it and laugh at it while im watching spongebob, lol,lol. well it has clear sound so thats not a problem so im thinking if it has sound then hopefully the video is there for when i get the crt to light or whatever the problem is. and btw i put a new video tube in the maggie but it didnt really brighten it up so maybe ill take it apart and sell off the parts , ahhh, such as life with tvs. and what you should do with stuff or junk is send it to someone that will take care of it or use it.

Naw dont give up on or part the maggie. One at a time timmy. Fix the one inch one then take a break then work on the maggi.
Its the challenge of fixing the crap more than anything, im like that too. I only have fun disposing of these modern plastic sets I still find 1-2 of each week.
I would love to see some pictures of the inside of the set you are working on.
