| Apr 4, 2021 at 22:14 | comment | added | Makyen | @badjohn While Toby Speight's answer does more expansively cover the same issue, it was posted after this one. It's normally not considered negative to this answer to have one which is posted later which states basically the same thing. In the generic case, it's possible that a subsequent answer could cover similar points and in the process show that the earlier answer completely missed something (which could be a negative). That is, however, not the case here, IMO. | |

Added a clarification.

| Apr 3, 2021 at 20:40 | comment | added | supercat | Adding video baseband inputs to a hot-chassis television set would have been expensive, requiring either a more expensive floating-chassis design or else modulating the signal to allow it to be fed through a narrow-band transformer. The cost savings for hot-chassis designs have gone down with time, making them rare nowadays outside small electronic devices like those found in kitchen appliances, wireless remote light switches, etc. but in the 1970s they would have been quite significant. | |
