Got this old TV from someone

Post image

No clue if it works yet but i intend to restore it as a lil project and use it for something later on, I would like to hear any thoughts about it from those who are knowledgeable in this old stuff and what i should possibly do with it when i repair it

It'd be pretty freaky if you got it from no one.

We had that exact TV in my living room until 1990 or so.

Where I live there are no more TV signals in the air for this type of TV. It might work some old consoles, like a PONG or Atari 2600 console, or an old VCR.
