Default Smart Thorn 9000 chassis tv project

I have thanks to the kindness of a forum member a few old Thorn tv's.
I have an original 1975 Ferguson branded Thorn nixie tube display 9000 tv.
It has its IF/decoder board missing ,so I am embarking on an ambitious project to include a digital front end .
I would also like to incorporate Wifi ,HDMI and SD card reader.
The first four channels of the six buttons will access BBC1,2 ITV and Channel 4 etc.
Then button 5 will access the digital menu direct ,all with nixie tube indication.
Button 6 will access HDMI ,SD and Wifi and will be toggled through modes.
I will keep you updated if you are interested,I will be making a custom pcb to fit in the original chassis frame,with direct tube drive and sync etc.
