Did anyone notice the A2000 in the video is hooked to a Commodore 1702 (composite) monitor? This is the monitor is usually for CBM the 8-bit line. So obviously they are using the A2000's composite black and white video output.

Any TV with a composite input could replace that if it failed.

I wonder if that mismatch between the A2000 and the 1702 monitor was intentional?

I'm guessing that the Amiga's original 1084 monitor died and some uninformed person just went on eBay and bought the first Commodore monitor they saw because they though any model would do.  Oops.  Oh well, at least it works well enough for their purposes (text display) - and those 1701s were better built than the 1084s.
