+NColdfart47 Winegard RCDT09A. RCA also had the same thing under the "Venturer" brand (RCA model STB7766G1) The battery pack here was something that I made myself using stuff from an electronics store and RadioShack. They did make an "official battery box" for it that took six "C" batteries. The converter box runs on 9 volts

Hey so I’ve got a lasonic portable black and white tv I got at goodwill for five bucks, would this same method work for it? It has the same ext antenna jack, but I’m wanting it to be able to connect to a digital antenna so it could still “technically” be portable. I’m wondering if something like this would still work? Realistically I’d never take it anywhere, as I’ve got a cell phone. Still I’m just curious if it’s at all possible to get more than just static as a learning project.
@mistersmith3067

Somehow, the digital signals from the antenna have to be converted to analog, since the tv can only accept these. So, with the help of the converter box, u could, but like u said, it wouldnt be very portable then. U could buy a basic small digital antenna, and then buy the smallest converter box u can find, then plug that stuff into the tv. If u used batteries to supply ur converter box, then technically it would be portable i guess.

Someone needs to make a module like a chip you can add in to theese so it can still be portable but with a remote. So you can solder it in and use it like this on the go. Wish that existed. I have a collection of theese. I have one of the first color ones from 1989.

My old VHF rabbit ears work well as an FM antenna for my radio. (Ancient GE clock radio with 300 ohm inputs). I still watch an RCA 12" black&white portable hooked to the VCR for a cable tuner. I've had other color sets, but some end has always befell them, while the B&W keeps on ticking. CRT emissions have gotten weak in the last couple years or so. It';s going to be a sad day that TV dies.
