Maybe one day, as the tube is almost brand new, although I remember this TV also had a really bad barrel distortion whenever anything bright was on the screen - we had actually swapped one of these the day we bought it because of the distortion but this one wasn't any better. Analog TV transmission has since been phased out so it's a moot point these days, the TV is still sitting in the garage awaiting the day someone turns it back on.
We took it to a TV repairer and he added what he thought was a compatible RF modulator, however it was only compatible with VLF and did nothing at all on VHF/UHF, making it all but useless (the only VLF channel in Australia was the ABC, and the only other things which used it were old video game consoles such as the Atari 2600 and Sega Master System II, both of which didn't have AV out).
One TV was a DSE (D¡ck Smith) 51cm/20" CRT, bought new in 2005 and wrecked by the cat a few months later, which of course wasn't covered by warranty (it still works fine as long as you only use the RCA inputs, but I haven't used it since - as with most Australian CRTs, it didn't have a SCART connector). Yes, I have had two TVs with the antenna socket ripped straight out of the back, both times was because one of our cats (the same one both times!) went behind them, tripped over everything and took the cable and socket with it, with the socket still attached to the cable.
