JFound this tv at the flea market new in box for five dollars. The tv came with a nice stand to put the TV on. I expect the OEM is Samsung because they made a lot of TVs under these wired names and it was made in Korea. It was very cheaply made and I would normally not buy a TV this cheap. I will make an exception on this one. The external antenna is 3.5 mm jack and I don't have an adapter so I can't hook the tv up to anything to use it if any knows what adapter I need so I can hook it up to a standard 75 ohm coaxial cable or 300 ohm please let me know.

the tv has 3.5mm jack for external antenna. I have no way hook anything up to. So for now you just get a snowy picture.

I picked one of those at an estate sale a few years ago on the free pile. That and a 13" Zenith System 3. It's a "Panda" brand, naturally made in China.
Never even took it out of the box. It's one of those promotional things for inquiring about a "Time Share" or similar.
The poor souls that bought into the T/S probably paid Thousands of $$ for the set. :D

F connector to 1/8" mini are available. I use one for my Indextron.

I remember back in the early 90s, we had a Cheap-Shyte store goin' outta business here in Bugtussle, it was near Xmas, & I needed to get some Xmas gifts. These were kids, & they were kinda rough on stuff, so I didn't wanna spend TOO much. But there were like 5-6 of 'em. The store had a PILE of little 5" Made in China TVs for $5 each...Problem solved ! I took 'em to those kids the next night, Xmas was still a week or 2 off, but what the heck ? They even had ext ant jacks, I showed 'em how to work that, they DID have A/C warts, & I think they all lived past the 1st of the year.. The TVs, the kids did, too. They were kinda grumpy that they weren't color, but, aww hell, you can't please everybody...
