RE:
	"I would like to add a Video input to my Sears 19 inch TV receiver"

Try to find a SAMS photofacts for your set. It will contain schematics
and photos. I don't know if it would be difficult.

The first thing to do is to check whether the set's transformer isolates the
it from the the power lines. Some cheaper sets (maybe more these days)
have a direct connection between the chassis and the AC line.

If the set isn't isolated, you have about a 50/50 chance of getting the
chassis connected to the 'hot' wire. If you then connect the set to
a grounded piece of equipment, you will start frying things. If your
set isn't isolated, you might be better off forgetting the idea.
