Default Re: It's vintage technology. Honest!

In the 1970s a relative who would probably now be described as a 'geek' fitted a small CRT TV into the dashboard of his car. The wiring prevented it operating while the ignition was on which he maintained made it legal.

He and his wife used to drive to a local beauty spot on fine evenings and watch 'Crossroads'. I don't recall whether he ever had a conversation with a police Constable about his unusual accessory or watched too long and ran the battery too low to start the engine and drive home.
