Old style TV/DVD Combi

Hi everyone, looking for a wee bit of help here.

I need to get a tv/dvd combi for my son's room, it has to be the old style (not LCD/Flat), either 14/15/17 inch or therabouts. The reason it for being old style is that it has to sit in the corner of his room on a small table as he has bad epilepsy and would more easily knock over the flat screen on its stand.

I am more than happy to get him a flat screen and wall mount it but the ex doesn't want it in the wall !!

I have searched high and low to try and source a new one but as they are pretty old now i cant seem to find anything.

Anyone got any ideas or hints of where to get one new?

Thanks a lot

    Hi,

    I'm not sure about new ones , but for old ones, you could try eBay, they sometimes have the old TV's/combi's listed.
    Have you checked your local Freecycle?
    Perhaps the Loot even?

    Also, normally on the combi's the video/dvd part seems to go rather quickly, so watch out if you buy one!

    Hope this helps!:)

    Depending on whether you have one locally, the British Heart Foundation has about 100 furniture and electrical stores nationwide. They're good for (tested) pre-loved kit.

    ToDo's right about the dvd wearing out, though.
    I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
    But, if the white runs out, I'll drink the red.

    Is he likely to knock the table over too? If not you could get a flat screen and mount it to the table with something a bit like THIS, or is the table too small?
