There's just something charming about home appliances being shrunk down small enough allowing you to carry and use them wherever you want! Just charming.
@@rexjolles you need the converter box as well, since all antennas are the same the only difference is what the machine is built to pick up and these aren't built to pick up digital signals
Had this for road trips, used to hook up the PS2 to this and play Kingdom Hearts. Super impractical - but lots of fun when you have to sit in a car and do nothing for a few hours.
@@fluffymacaw933 This portable tv's like this one on video are made on CD5151CP integrated circuit, if you unsolder 11pin from that circuit and connect composite signal there (not to circuit, connect it to the board) it will work with really good quality(as for crt of course). Edit: if it's made on ka2915 integrated circuit then do it with pin 5 instead.
I own a purple one. Tons of companies made them exactly the same. Mine is made by AdVantage Industries. (No longer in Business). I added a 3.5mm to coax adapter and watch tv on it with an antenna
You can hack the volume control to put the av audio there. The audio sucks anyway, but it's so characteristic of these tvs that it triggers nostalgia happiness for me.
Just got a gray one of these yesterday. From what I was told the previous owner only used it for like a month and put it back in the box. When I first turned it on it didn't show anything but a blank screen (the radio worked tho :D), and I traced it down to the TV/AV switch in the back which wasn't making ANY contact at all due to oxidation. So I fixed that and now I have a nice little portable tv that's barely been used before.
Hi there........I have one of these.......but I can't get a picture. Maybe you can tell me what I'm missing...? It has a little antenna. I have satellite in the house......would that be interfering with a signal for the UHF/VH or VL......? Thanks so much, Linda
These older sets can only receive analog broadcasts, nowadays most countries are digital broadcasts only unfortunately. There are adapters you can get (called digital to analog converters) that can connect to your TV and let you watch it. The only thing is that the actual TV's tuner has to be set to channel 3 or 4, and you tune the TV with the converter box. The good thing about this is you get to use a remote! If you have any more questions just reply!
Thanks a lot. and you anticipated my dream of playing (ms. pacman plug n play console). on a 5.5 inch portable tv. You just had days thinking about it. I just haven't done it yet because the mail and transport service changed their policy and now they are more fussy about the boxes. especially the elongated ones.
I watched a video talking about these portable TVs it seems they where some of the last crt tvs ever made since they where produced in the late 2000s they where mass produced and sold very cheaply some of them had color but some dident
I still have a couple of portable TV sets. I actually tried them out with the digital to analog converter and was shocked just how good a picture you could have with a strong, clean signal. TV Games work nicely as well.
@@CricketBonez - In my case, RCA stereo jack. Plugged the 1/8" plug, and I think yellow was the video and white was the audio. If not, switch it. You might be overthinking your solution. Remember, you may need to tune to channel 3 (or 2) to see a picture.
I think he used standard Composite cable with yellow for video and white for audio (it can be either white or red). Consoles like the PS3 allow SD resolution output (must be set to that in the Console Video output settings) and the console itself usually comes with a AV cable. At least they always had one when you got one new. When you get a console second hand you may not always get the composite AV cable with it but if you look up for such a cable you may always find a replacement spare one. So in most cases you don't even need a HDMI converter box that would convert a digital AudioVideo signal to an analog AV signal. These plug and play consoles (like that Pac Man one he played) already had composite Audio & Video RCA connectors on the cable that's attached to it.
I have a curtis brand portable tv. Although it doesnt have the video input for the yellow cable but still has a video input that wont hold the yellow cable. Is it possible to get something to help me or can i not game on it?
Hey if it has a antena plug in and no colored av cables can it still be used yo game? Found a tv called embassy 4.5 portable mini tv model TR-21 i really want a mini tv there 3 on the market at a very cheap price but only one has the av cable plug in the other 2 have only antenna (EXT/ANT) plug in! Wish someone msg me cuz i cant find any info online.
If it's just the circular UHF/VHF one then you can use a VCR as an adapter if you have one. You can also buy small boxes that will convert the composite/RCA cables to RF, they're called "RF Modulators". If yours is really old (like a Sony I have from 1967) that has a headphone-style jack for signals then you'll have to jerry-rig something together
The back of the other mini tv i mentioned below is different in the back it doesnt have the colors so im confused if it will game the YORX portable mini tv
I had one of these things. Parents thought it would be great for gaming lmao. Whose laughing now with my bad eyesight lol, joking. I did remember squinting alot to see details though lol, don't play elder scrolls Morriwind on this tv lol.
Depending on the console you may have to adjust the display settings to 4:3 instead of 16:9 (Widescreen). Older consoles and plug n plays were naturally fullscreen.
One thing I find interesting about these portable black and white TVs are that they aren't exactly black and white they have more of bluish tint to them.
How heavy is it? CRT’s are notorious for being heavy, but I assume that a crt that is small like that would weigh around 1-4 lbs, but I don’t own one, so I don’t know.
I was trying to get my camera video on this and i was wondering why it wouldn’t and then I realized that my parents bought the one without the a/v inputs
found one of these at a local goodwill. My first instinct was to throw it at the old family wii and play mariokart. Worked *way* better than it had any right to.
How did you end up hooking it up? I'd like to play my ps2 on one of these but I'm very new to these kinds of electronics and don't know what kinds of adapters to use
@@watchmebonkit2168 wiis have a native composite out, and my version of this tv has a composite in, so it's just plug and play. a ps2 is from a generqation that should still be using composite out. That's the set of 3 RCA cables, one red, one white, and one yellow, though you'll want external speakers, cause the TV only has a mono speaker.
These little black and white TVs are much better than their equal sized colour counter parts because the color-mask is making the picture look a lot less detailed and more rasterized. While a Black and White TV tube is very clear and very smooth in comparison. So yeah, it may not have colour but it certainly has a good picture for its size. Even though you have to adjust it properly to contrast and brightness but that's the fun-part that just makes the analog experience more of a real deal. Plus.... it has no input lag ;)
How did you get this TV working with the AV ports? I have the exact same TV but every time I try to use the AV ports it just shows a pure white screen. I have a modulator and everything but it just isn’t working.
you know whats funny,i actually bought the same tv yesterday and this was the first video that came up,only difference is that my tv only has antennae in
Joseph Palma Does this mean there’s no way to connect any external source to your model? I’m looking at one right now on eBay but I only see the ext ant slot so I think it’ll be the same as yours
There's just something charming about home appliances being shrunk down small enough allowing you to carry and use them wherever you want! Just charming.
Had one of these for camping trips. Absolutely fantastic, shame analog tv was shut off a few years ago :(
Well you can get a 3.5mm to coax adapter and a digital antenna, plug it in to the "EXT. ANNETTA" slot, and then boom man
@@rexjolles you need the converter box as well, since all antennas are the same the only difference is what the machine is built to pick up and these aren't built to pick up digital signals

A few? I think more like 10 years ago, bro! It's really been that long.
Get a coax and digital antenna and you in business
Those portable tvs were really nice, and yours looks brand new!
I have one I rock my Dreamcast on it, and watch DVDS on it. It has it's charm to it.
Beautiful footage
I played video games on a tv like this in black and white back in the day. This was before I had a color tv! Shows my age.
Had this for road trips, used to hook up the PS2 to this and play Kingdom Hearts. Super impractical - but lots of fun when you have to sit in a car and do nothing for a few hours.
Peak nostalgia moment, I would have loved to have that experience as a kid! Thanks for watching :)
I have one but mine doesnt have av inputs, only coax in a 3.5mm jack form
I own one of these, I've played GTA on it aswel.
Which one.
I cant find that tv
I had one but without video input it was only tv and radio not monitor and i modifay IT it worket but after
Some time broke down

Just scored a 1984 Jcpenney portable tv/radio combo :)
@@shadowbanned58 Awesome find!
@@lostsaint 👍I think it's a Samsung in descize. It was made in south Korea and the Korean Samsung counterpart looks identical.
Mine had an av port but no audio jack, i found a workaround by connecting the rf signal to the ext antenna port and tuning it into my nes
may i ask what parts you had to get to connect the rf to the ext antenna port?
How can I connect mine: I have a yellow and white port space on the tv ?
Nice

This is a fantastic way to play games in black and white

Try using an HDMI converter to composite and play PS4/PS5 on it.
what kind of cable did you use to connect the video game to show on the screen?

You can connect also a digital/SAT STB and watch the TV
I just installed in my car, is there a way I can watch analog TV, all I get is snow
If you live in the US, unfortunately, analog signals have been disabled from regular antenna TVs like this one.

depending on the type of input, you may be able to use an adapter to plug your console's cables into
Seeing this reminded me I used to have one of those TVs and for the life of me I can't remember what the hell happened to it.
It’s at Terry’s place.
Mine doesn’t show full screen you know what might be the problem? I connected it to some av cable but it’s not the original one

Mine doesn't have the av jack area. Is there anything that can be done with mine?
I was looking for info on how add AV input to mine, but you've got a superior model to mine.
Just use an RF modulator, or you can add RGB(scart) to the back if your tv has a jungle chip.

Depending on the console you may have to adjust the display settings to 4:3 instead of 16:9 (Widescreen). Older consoles and plug n plays were naturally fullscreen.
