I found a Brionvega Algol BV1 last week, one of the "modern" versions of the 1960's original, with SCART, OSD menus, etc.

The TV is working, I get "snow" when it's on normal TV channel, and I get some displayable signal on SCART... except there seem to be an issue with a contact somewhere, because just barely touching anything on the back of the tv (with the finger, or when plugging or unplugging a cable) makes the TV display blank, and the red "stand by" light to appear.

I made a short video showing the issue:

Does anyone has an idea of what could cause that, and if that looks like something that can be fixed easily?

I really like this TV, it fits perfectly the computer!

Bonus question: Assuming the TV can be fixed, is there a way to center the display, it looks like the computer display area is too much on the left.

Thanks in advance!
