Conversion is obscenely expensive.  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.
