   Hi Thanks For the replies,   
   Yea, am in the US and would just like to see if it is possible to   
   connect a VCR or TV (ntsc) or anything to keep it going.  I am   
   thinking the picture tube is going bad in th eoriginal unit.  I am   
   also worried about the supposed HOT frame of the chassis I am reading   
   about.   
   Any other suggestions?  Thanks alot guys/gals/PALs,   
   Steve
