Yes...A Casio 2.2" Color LCD TV.  It has a headphone-style antenna jack,
which I connected through a series of adapters to a junked VCR and
connected a //c to the VCR.  It was part of a nerdy Christmas ornament I
made for the Math/Computer Science department Christmas tree.  I wrapped
up the mini TV in cardboard to make it look like a //e.  I had the  //c
and VCR running hidden from view and had the power and coaxial cable
running up the trunk of the tree.  The //c was running a Dazzle Draw
slide show from its 5.25" drive.  The whole setup ran solid for a month
without crashing.  I had all kinds of people peering into that orament
to try to figure out how I did that. I did lock the TV to the tree with
a short security cable to keep them from disassembling my project. :)
