We have a little color tv that I used as the monitor for my TI Color 
Computer (a blazingly fast 16K machine!) that still works quite well - 
better, in fact, than the "newer" one that is older than I care to admit.  I 
had actually forgotten about the hand-crank phone until Gefjon  mentioned 
it...........
