That should have been a real CRT monitor to give this picture a true feeling of the 80s!

Simulated 14" portable TV fascia with tuning knob* and mono speaker grille.

*set to channel 36, natch

Was that specific to C64? I recall old consoles and VCRs using either channel 3 or 4.

  Might be a European thing. I remember that, here in the UK, on my Vic-20 connected to my parent's Bush portable tv, it was channel 36. I believe the C64 was the same.
  And sometimes you had to twist/jiggle the aerial lead to get a good connection.

Eh, if only I had one. I have some relatives living next to me through and I think I remember an old TV in their basement, I might check it out, that's a good idea.
