In the mid/late 80's I had one of those Rat Shack stereo whosits for the TV so I could listen to stereo thru my hi-fi system. When watching Miami Vice I swear I heard some surround sound when they were shooting machine guns....could even make out the brass clinkng on the ground.

Worked pretty good, huh? I still have it. It's completely useless today because just about any VCR has a stereo tuner. I got one of those JVC VCRs with the time base corrector. Works with roundies.

I had F.R.E.D. -- the Friendly Recoton Entertainment Decoder which I believe was a product of Rhodes. It did not need its own tuner. It had to be attached--but not actually connected-- to the TV set. Instead it picked up the set's audio IF from a little probe. It worked perfectly, and since my TV set had a stereo receiver built in (yeah turntable and all, one of those) it went from a mono to stereo a TV by changing nothing but a pair of cables. This was early in 1987, shortly after the local NBC affiliate became the first in the area broadcasting in stereo.

Perfect solution for a combo! What did you have to do with the probe? Strap it to the sound if tube or something?
