I had one of those MGA TVs. It definitely had a nice picture. The tube had a very light blue tint, just as in the picture. If it is the same model I had, it's stereo with one a/v input and an audio output. The A/V interface, stereo decoder and amplifiers are on a large, vertically mounted board at the back and the circuit is quite convoluted. (It has its own power supply and uses optoisolators for the a/v jacks.) It looks like they took a mono TV without a/v inputs and designed the board as an add-on. This makes the TV very heavy for its size. In addition, the speakers are tiny and sound horrible. Mine developed problems in the audio and jungle sections so I ditched it a long time ago...
I've always been a fan of urban exploration but too much of a wuss to do it myself. One of my favorite sites is
http://detroitfunk.com, lots of great history there. Here in Rochester there was a factory that was abandoned for about 20 years,
Photech. It was a popular urbex destination and there are lots of pics from the site. It was a former GAF factory and contaminated with photo chemicals. They finally got it torn down earlier this year.
