It's a PV-420 from 1988, with a solid state CCD image sensor. The original NiCad battery is dead as a doornail, but everything else is working 100%, and I got it with the original hard padded case, charger/AV-in/out box, cables, and owner's manual.
The image quality is excellent, but its range of focus is rather limited. It can get razor sharp focus of objects very close up (macro mode) or far away, but objects a few feet away tend to come out blurry even with manual focus. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_2QNERCtCA

With one weird trick, you can use a cheap USB video capture device to record audio from any line-level source, like a turntable (with pre-amp), cassette deck, etc.

This game is an absolute must-have for any Atari 2600 or 7800 owner! Thanks to a one-of-a-kind custom chipset in the cartridge by Activision, Pitfall II does things you never thought were possible on a 2600, including continuous background music, smooth scrolling, flicker-free animation, and finely drawn multi-colored characters -- plus it's a fun and challenging game, too. Overall, it can compare almost equally with the Atari 5200, C64, and Atari 8-bit computer versions of Pitfall II.

Comparing Christmas music received in HD Radio (IBOC) digital stereo from 710 WOR, vs. analog C-Quam AM Stereo from 1450 WCTC. WOR is the strongest signal on the dial but was still unable to decode the digital audio without constant drop-outs to mono.
The HD Radio receiver was a Directed Electronics DHHD-1000 while the AM Stereo receiver was a Sansui TU-S77AMX.

The Audio-Technica AT-LP60, Pioneer PL-990, and other similar inexpensive turntables are very popular and generally get good reviews, but they've come under criticism for various reasons which I discuss and test in this in-depth video, to find out if that criticism is valid or not.
