Nice set.
A sucker for 80's tech I am, especially tv's and vcr's. Really like the late 70's thru mid 80's Trinitrons but never find them here ... craigslist is always loaded with charcoal/black sets though ... maybe someday I'll find one. |
1987 Hitachi
I used to have a 13 inch Hitachi of the same vintage that my wife had before we were married. It produced a fantastic picture for many years for us before we gave it to my brother. He used it for several more years before it quit! Probably 15 total. It did not meet as good a fate as yours. It went to a recycler last year. Too bad Hitachi got out of the consumer market.:no:

It looks like you just took it out if the shipping carton. That set was well kept, to begin with! You did an excellent job of detailing it.
If sets were grungy to begin with, they didn't clean up that nice. |

When "Fantastic" came out, it was a godsend. You had to watch the wording and the numbers on the knobs. :sigh: |
I dont use anything that harsh.
I used automotive paint spray wax, for cabinets and/or 10:1 diluted orange all purpose cleaner for stubborn gunk. |
Just grabbed the original Hitachi CLU-190 Remote for it.
Video soon. :banana: |

FBT= FlyBack Transformer HOT= Horz Output Transistor HDT= Horz Drive Transformer DY= Deflection Yoke Jug= CRT TNR= tuner GE= Good Enough ZENO= Zenith just to mention a few.......... Zeno needs explaining. An old Italian couple came in to buy a set. Real thick accent. After getting a feel for what they needed I ask about brand preference. "Nothing but a Zeno" It was one of those memorable things & became part of the shop lingo & my screen name. Yes they did buy the Zeno. Mediterranean cabinet of course ! 73 Zeno:smoke: 73 Zeno |
OK :smoke:
