Believe it or not, I just got really lucky. I found it curbside, because someone had busted the cable connector clean off the board. So, instead, I soldered on a piece of cable with a connector end. I could have mounted a connector on the back, but I didn't want to cut holes in the original back. The box you see on top is an RF modulator, so I could hook up a DVD player to it.

The only scary thing was cutting the top off of the BPC set to make it fit the cabinet. It came sooo close to the picture tube, and me with my air powered cutoff wheel, that I had to be really careful. Also had to make sure that the top part was still around the picture tube, because that's all that holds the tube in place.
