A couple of recent acquisitions. I haven't really checked these out yet, just took some pics as I unloaded them into the shed.

A HMV 12613 "Braddon" 18 inch delta gun, marked as manufactured in Japan for EMI Australia. It powers up with reasonable brightness, so it may be salvageable.

It's a Toshiba CRT and most of the semiconductors are Sanyo, but I'm not sure who actually made it.

An unknown Sony 18 inch console. The back panel is missing, so I don't have a model number. Unfortunately like most 18 inch Sony's I think the CRT is bad. I get a dim undersized raster with no red.

The neck board is pretty crispy. The output transistors have been replaced and are mismatched. I'll check this out more thoroughly later, but I'm not too hopeful.

On a completely unrelated note, but included because it was in the same load:

A Teac XR-510 VHS data recorder. Completely useless I'm sure, but it looks cool.

Well done on your latest finds.

The HMV is a 1975 model and uses a chassis made by General. I have the General version of this set.

The Sony looks like a KV-1830AS (or 1835AS). Your lucky that you can get any raster at all as they have a reputation for capacitors going bad and destroying the unobtainable GCS device used in the horizontal output stage.

I had the opportunity to dig through the service manuals and found a picture of the Sony. It is a model KV-1835AS the KV-1830AS was the ordinary tabletop model. Good to see it still has its swivel base still attached. The manual dates these sets as 1976.

Here's a scan of the cover picture.
