My girlfriend's parents are coming to stay in a week's time and I have been told that my collection of SCART television must shrink before their arrival! Too messy, apparently.
So, I'll be giving away (or throwing away) the following:
Philips - Early '90s, 66 cm, analog chassis, Toshiba tube. Awesome, sharp picture. Like this.
Grundig - Early '00s, 68 cm tube, digital chassis, Philips semi-flat tube. Vibrant picture. Remote and manul.
Blaupunkt - Same as this one, without the pots mod. Tube upgraded to a nice A66EAK from a Loewe CT1170.
Sharp - 20 inch, PAL only. Australian made! Very nice! Check it out.
I'd rather not take all this awesome gear down to the recycle centre. :(
If you're interested, get in touch ASAP. I have to move this stuff before Friday morning!
Pickup only from Clifton Hill 3068, Victoria, Australia.

Sharp! PAL only with RGB
A curious little 20 inch TV arrived on my doorstep yesterday through a series of events.
A reader got in touch with me about a Loewe CT1170 he found on the street (nice score! E3000 mmm...) and he mentioned that he'd like something smaller for his apartment. Luckily, I had a neat little 34 cm Loewe at hand so we did a deal.
I ended up with some dollars for my baby Loewe and also an old Sharp TV that the buyer no longer wanted. He said that it was SCART equipped (with RGB input) but PAL only. And he was right! This is the first SCART television that I've found that won't sync to 60 Hz modes. However, the PAL preset in GroovyMAME works a treat with this thing! Jerky scrolling but at least it works.
Shame about the 60 Hz restriction as the picture is actually pretty nice on this thing!
Obviously I'll be pulling the back off this thing soon to see if there are any trimpots inside... more pictures to come!
