Easiest option would be an obsolete portable CRT colour TV. There are millions around and ever time I go to the tip there are a lot being dumped. Some people still use them with a digi box to receive digital TV - Freeview etc, but with flat screen LED TVs now costing under £100, many CRT portables/digi-boxes are being pensioned off and are just kicking around in lofts, sheds, garages and are destined to be dumped. I tried to give two away last year - no takers so with reluctance, I took them to the tip.

If you have a Freecycle group in your area, as you most certainy will have, if you put a wanted advert on, you're almost certain to get a response, or you might see one offered. Someone on the forum might come to your rescue too.

Good luck in your quest, and with the Speccy, which I guess most of us will have fond memories of!
