Is anyone familiar with these little gadgets? If so, can you tell me what they do etc? I can find next to nothing on the interwebs. Thanks in advance.

I miss Proton TV set(s).
Not sure,but IIRC, Proton came out simultaneously with the Sony Pro Feel component tv sets in the early 80's. Monitor was separate from electronics. Remember selling.them and a 19 inch crt was almost $2k! Beautiful picture at the time though. Probably a remnant of the system.
I am still looking for owners manuals for these two pieces of equipment. It looks so straightforward to hook up but I have not been able to get it to display anything. The problem may be that I'm hooking up the cable wrong but I also saw something about this tuner would not be compatible with broadcast signals to grab out of the air. I'm kind of at a loss now which stinks because I think these things would be cool to set up and play with :) IF anyone has any info, I'd love to have it.

Can you post pictures of Front & back panels of each?
Yeah, here they are. Let me know if I need to take better pics.

Also, there aren't many option on the back of the decoder. There is a level +/- dial, an "MPX Input" plug and L/R Audio In plugs. That's it.

The Tuner seems pretty easy to figure out - it is the Decoder that I am having difficulties with....
where does it get its Input - maybe a better pic of its rear panel....
The Tunner appears to take input from an antenna & / or 75Ohm cable (antenna or Cable - POST cable Box??) and inputs from VCR/disc (which would give you two coices - DVD/BluRay/VCR/LAserDisc/Computer output - if a single co-ax...
the tunner can select stations for OTA broadcast (Only - Probably)and you can select between the two other inputs - Labeled: VCR & Disc.
Let's see where / what input the decoder takes....
I will post new pics in a bit. As for the tuner, I tried plugging in the 75ohm cable from the cable line out of the wall, and i have tried to connect an over the air antenna, and have tried connecting composite cable from the output plug on the cable box. But, in none of those circumstances am I able to see a picture. Not sure what I am doing wrong, or if these even still work anymore. I'm amazed that there is NO info on the internet but I truly have looked hard and truly cannot find a thing! So far, you are the only brave sole willing to provide any bit of guidance (for which I am truly thankful)!

It also appears that the MPX input on the decoder is connected with a cable from the MPX output on the tuner and that the audio "outs" on the decoder correspond to the audio "ins" on the tuner. The more I keep looking at this it seems like I should be able to hook up an antenna and get OTA broadcast channels. I am going to try that again in a few minutes and report back.
