How to connect a PS1 to a CRT television

Hello, I just acquired an old cathode-ray television to be able to play with my PS1 (since some games don't work on my flat screen). However, I just realized that there is no Scart or VGA (3 color cable) on my TV. Would it be possible to convert it maybe? I'm really in the dark.

I thank you in advance,

Have a pleasant end of the day.

    Hello and welcome to this forum,

    This TV would really have to be very, very old (before 1980) not to have a SCART connector... did you look carefully?
    Otherwise, what is its full reference?

      Hello, well apart from the coaxial cable, I really don't see where it could be. I bought it really quickly without paying much attention. Stupidly, I thought that all televisions (at least the remaining ones) had at least a Scart socket. It's the model: ctv-1422GRC from the brand Protech.

      Thank you for your reply.

    You must have provided the reference for the remote control; the one for the TV is on the back of the identification plate.

      Ah no, it’s right behind the television, besides there’s only that written behind it.

    Sorry, but this somewhat "exotic" TV is unknown on the net

    The only solution would be an RF modulator to connect to the TV's coaxial input, but I was wondering if you could get a TV with a SCART connection for that price.

    Hi,

    Could you post a picture of the back of the TV?


    Are you sure there isn't a hidden panel with additional connections?

      Hello, I turned it upside down in every possible way but I can't see what it could be.
