Love the Initech mug. I went to The University of Texas at Austin and I remember going to a lot of the places they filmed that movie.
I like it! I have the identical setup with my Apple 1 replica.
Sony TV-110U came out on the market in 1969
Those old Sony TVs were very well made but since it's from the 60s it uses those gray electrolytic capacitors which are normally dried up and fail doto age by now. If you plan to use that TV a lot then a recap is highly recommended and I expect you will get better performance out of it. Note I'm not one to recap something unless it is needed and 60s electronics are at the age they need replacing.

My Friends had one similar to this with their c64 & I wanna say TRS-80 hooked up to it.
It looked Awful, but I thought it was Crazy Awesome
You going through that TV reminds me of a 14 year old me experimenting with with an old TV that had a screwed up picture. Learning how it works.
Another time, working off the knowledge that an Oscilloscope was 75% of a regular TV set, I took an old TV chassis that had a broken tube but apparently still worked and started probing around for signals. Eventually I located the horizontal, vertical, and luminescence signals. Hooked them up to the horizontal, vertical and trigger/brightness inputs on the scope. After lots of tweaking on the Scope controls trying to get the triggering and sync right, I was finally able to watch perfect broadcast TV video on the scope display. Albeit in green monochrome. Sound came from the TV speaker. I remember thinking that was so incredibly cool.
