Doesn't anyone hack into "Freecycle" giveaway TVs anymore for video 
monitors?  True, they're probably hot-chassis, but an optoisolator or 
three will take care of that.  My TV Typewriter used an old tube-type 
Zenith portable TV for a couple of years until I glommed onto a real 
monitor (some surplus Four-Phase units).
