I finally got one. A real, actual, monochrome TV.
And it also works. Perfectly.
It's apperently a Brown King Personal B&W Televison. The exact model is BR1804. It uses the SECAM standard, which was mainly used in French and the Soviet Union.
It has four knobs on the back for adjusting Brightness, Contrast, Vertical Hold and Horizontal Hold. It can also run from dc power on 12V 1200mA.
The fact that it has a built in antenna would have been very convenient when this was brand new, but since no analog television signals are broadcasted anymore, it is basically useless. What is still very handy, is that it's got two RCA jacks, which can accept modern-ish composite signals. This is how I can connect it two pretty much anything. It also has a switch for changing between Antenna and RCA mode. It only has two rca jacks because the speaker is mono, which means it doesn't need an additional one for stereo sound.
The two dials on the front would have been used to switch between channels. They do nothing now.
There is also a knob for volume control below them.
Goodbye everyone🦊
