To make the 80's TV more authentic, is there an option to change channels via a pair of vice-grips that are permanently attached to the stub where the missing/broken channel knob should be? Because that's how I experienced it.

The static effect is nice for creating a low-fi vibe, but some kind of CRT effect (like many arcade & console emulators have) would be even better.

Yes, and it really needs to emulate the constant need to realign the "rabbit ears" antenna you made from a wire coathanger that is jammed into the back too.
