Harringay online

Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

We have an ancient TV to give away if anyone has a use for it. It is the old style with a CRT (cathode-ray tube, i.e. a glass vaccuum tube), made by Thorn. It works, though not on digital broadcast. It is fully working from SCART lead and that is the only form of input it will take. We've been using it until recently but our digibox has been upgraded and doesn't support SCART any more. It has something like a 19" screen, is almost as deep and is very heavy so will need transport to pick it up. We also have a DVD player, a much more recent Phillips model, with SCART lead (also 4-lead video but not HDMI) which works very well with it. I have been told these TVs are also used nowadays for retro gaming - I learn something every day!

May be of use to someone who wants a retro TV, or is interested in it as an electronic pre-digital device. If you're curious and want to take it apart, make sure you know what you're doing because there are very high voltages inside!

I know this is a long shot, but I wanted to offer this to Harringay Online before I grapple with how to dispose of it.

Note that I've attached higher-definition photos as well as the low-definition ones below.

Hi! Roughly where abouts are you? If I can carry it back to mine I'll have it!

Hi, sorry for being a bit slow to reply - a busy couple of days.

I'm in Roseberry Gardens, I think you'd need to be very near to carry it!
