I picked up a Sony GV-8 Video Walkman for cheap yesterday. It's busted up pretty good, but the LCD looks fine. It looks like the tape mechanism broke and the owner fixed it with a mallet.

I'm thinking the tuner and LCD are good enough to hack into a little TV-out LCD for my puter. Anybody done this? Or something similar? Thought I'd ask before I started taking it apart. ;)

Ok, I've separated the modules, but trying to figger out what components attached to the tape drive are necessary. It won't power up at all with the tape unit disconnected. :(
