My TV does show both PAL and NTSC, I bought it by mail order from 47th Street Photo in New York when I lived in Pennsylvania. (As well as two multi-standard VCR's) I've had a devil of a time finding a place to service them, much less purchase a replacement. I finally found a place in Mountain View that will do service. As for purchasing, I'd look around SF's Chinatown at some of the electronics stores. Once you find what you want, get a price, then call 47th Street Photo and see if they beat it. I don't think 47th is charging CA sales tax yet, so it may be cheaper even with shipping. -- James C.
