re: tv & vcr

I had a small 5"  b&W tv (ac/dc) with an external antenna connection. 

Bought an inexpensive ac/dc video cassette player (note: does not record)
for $99 from Best Buy or Circuit City.  used a 75 TO 300 ohm converter
(radio shack).  I can now plug the video player into the tv and power both the
tv and player with 12 volts from the cigarette lighter.  it is a lifesaver with
children.  it is the one time they are allowed to watch so many movies.  feel
slightly guilty about allowing them to zone out on long trips but driving
long hours is torture for small children so this keeps everybody calm.

I like the front arm mount idea also and will look into making something 

so units are fixed.
