I don’t know how to operate this cool vintage TV…at one point the screen with “ant wars” did appear…I do think the volume works and there are 3 stages on the screen that all knight up individually when you turn the knob. Cosmetically it is nice…Please check out all the photos….39.99 to ship UPS…NO SALES TO A PO BOX ADDRESS AND NO SALES TO ALASKA OR HAWAII OR US TERRITORIES…PLEASE ALLOW 5 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER YOU PAY TO HAVE IT PROFESSIONALLY PACKED.
