The model 1 did in fact use an RCA B&W tv with the tuner Amplifier/speaker
and IF card removed, the video cable came out of the spot left by the
removed volume knob. You can use a standard NTSC monitor.
Connect pin 5 of the DIN connector to the shield of a coax cable and
connect pin 4 of the DIN connector to the center conductor, then terminate
the coax cable with an RCA connector and connect the cable to your monitor.
You can connect the cable to a standard composite video in, bu you will get
a better picture if you connect it to the Green(Y) connector on a
component input (if your monitor can do 480i on component)

I have finally managed to get my hands on a TRS-80
Model 1. Trouble is, it
came without a monitor. I have been doing some searching to see if I can
find out what kind of monitor it is and I am left unsure. All I have found
so far is a statement which says it is a TV without a tuner. I am not sure
what that means. I still have a CRT TV, can that be made to work, or have I
bought something that I can't use?
Thanks
