I should get the 1994 Mac TV out of the shed and see if it still boots.

The built-in CRT monitor doesn't work, the processor struggles with most websites, and now it's difficult to get it to turn on. And I couldn't get it online via wifi the last time I tried.

Some of those are fixable. Keeping up with HTML5 not so much. Your search term is "Macintosh reseller [ZIP code]".
It was the perfect dorm room computer in the 1990s. Macintosh, TV and CD stereo.

I guess I'll have to brave the cold and check it out, and report back.

Other than dry power capacitors, should boot, but keep it away from the internet with an airgap.
My XP still functions but goes all hissy because I don't allow it online.

Dragged it out and dusted it off. Everything is there right down to the handheld remote control, and the box for it.
Powered it up and it throbbed once --not the startup beep, prolly the CRT horizontal flyback. Now nuthin'.

Macintosh TV
Released as a limited edition in 1993, the Macintosh TV was one of the few desktops ever released in black and Apple's first attempt at computer-television integration. Equipped with a cable TV ready tuner card and a television monitor, the TV could switch from a computer to a television set in a matter of seconds and even came with a remote control. Yet it was incapable of recording live video, only still frames. Its poor processor speed and other limitations made the unit a failure and ultimately only 10,000 were sold.
Complete System
Mint Condition: Up to $500
Working Condition: Up to $350
Broken: Up to $100
Part Out Value: $150–300
Most Valuable Component: TV Tuner Card

A few years ago, there was still some demand for such all-in-one PCs back here. Haven't seen so many after FTA TV switched from analog to digital.
