[ukvac] Re: I LOVE MY CM8833 was ( Standing TVs Vertically)
Another option is to find a travel agent that's throwing out it's old
Viewdata terminals and get one of the screens. The most common of these is
the Philips HCS35 or even better HCS36 (better dpi) both models have
scart/composite and audio in and are based on the same chassis as the Cm8833
. They also have the full range of adjustments as knobs on the front, there
is even a button on the front that makes the screen green regardless of the
colours in the video feed (whatever use that would be). With a few extra
components in the audio stage they can also be made stereo!
I got mine for a Crisp Fiver.
