HDTVs with tuners, even the new 4K models, will tune in Analog channel 3. Some HDTV's have no built-in tuners, analog nor digital. You have to buy them separately. We only got SKT 090 and SJT 100 in t ...

Mostly because there are few collectors around and far between. You have to ship them otherwise. Just keep trying in your local classifieds. I found my lot and players at an estate sale on Craigslist, ...

I found the best thing for cleaning the goo out of the pulleys on the SKT 90 and SJT 100 was ammonia. It really did the job, and fast.

Yes, that's a smart tv with tuner according to specs. Also the video input is a hybrid component/composite input with a detection circuit, so you can only use one or the other at a time. But that does ...
