The new LED TV Martin Dover pointed me at at is a paltry 13W consumption compared to the 40W flatscreen I bought nearly a decade ago, so hopefully we can use it off-grid

A few years ago I bought this small screen TV to take on camping trips, it came with it's own demountable plastic stand so we just used that and sat the whole thing on a table etc, recently I bought this small 'TV swing out bracket' to fit in the camper but none of the mounting holes actually lined up with the back of our TV so I had to fabricate a few pieces to make it all work. :)
If anyone is in the same situation, maybe these pictures will give you some ideas. :)

Below are the pieces that I fabricated from scratch.

Long plastic knob came off a circular saw, easier to adjust the tilt angle than the screw that came with it.

impressive up-cycling of probably a perfectly serviceable power tool, still

Kudos!

Thanks, the saw were an old one, I did try to repair it but no one made an armature that would fit it. Wife thought that I were mad when she saw me stripping it down/saving some pieces. Lol
