     I have an old Heathkit TV with manual tuning, vaccuum tubes, etc.
It occurs to me that it should be possible tune in the midband cable
channels by patching some components into the tuner circuits.  Has
anybody tried it?  Also my vaccuum tube supplier just went out of 
business.  Is it going to become impossible to get vaccuum tubes
someday?  Does anybody have a mail-order address for tubes?
