Found a Blue 4" Watchman
I have been collecting Sony flat tube portables for several years and have never seen a 4 inch model in blue before, although I think that I have found most colors.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4316/...cfabd1_z_d.jpg Recently, a light blue FD42A turned up on the bay, and I was happy to purchase it, for Pippins enjoyment. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4395/...e1bdf2_z_d.jpg Considerable upgrade from the set that he had as a kitten. https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5223/...46bb2d_z_d.jpg jr |
I bought a grey 2"version off the rack in front of the store...1st time I ever bought a brand-new TV that WASN'T boxed up in box you could run a truck over. IIRC, the outfit went toes up not long after that...

Now, if you could just find that elusive plaid one! :D

Aside from plaid, which i'm sure was not available :) does anyone here know of any other colors used for the FD 40 series. The box shows a green one, but I have never seen an actual set in green. :scratch2: jr |
Awww, those kitten pictures are adorable! I've got a blue FD-20A, but that's all in the Watchman department. I use it as a serial console with a Raspberry Pi Zero sometimes. If I had a kitty you'd bet it'd be my kitty TV.

I believe I remeber a white one a pink one and a yellow one called a sport watchman with some measure of splash proof covering. I had one of the blue ones. It was a nice set. To bad they are not that usefull today as I was crazy about any miniature tv back then.

Does your blue FD-20 have a sports logo? I have yet to see a plain blue one. :scratch2: jr |
Great set for the cute kitty Jr.Now you have to find a 4 inch red set for your collection .You can set up a red white and blue for forth of July or flag day.That will keep Pippins busy watching all 3 of them.LOL.......
As of now I only have one grey 2 inch set here. |

Are you saying that a red 4 inch model was produced? That would be a great find for my collection! jr |

Update: Just found a blue 20A on the 'bay and nabbed it! :banana::banana: jr |
Really nice, clean display of your Watchman's. Cute photos of your cats. The blue is a favorite.
The rarest, hard to find Watchman was the FD-200 which sold only in Japan and sold 6 months prior to the introduction of the U.S. model, FD-210. The FD-200 was black and called "Flat TV". I think you already know that these two models had the only true flat CRT. All other Watchman's had a slight curvature. This is my FD-200 http://www.visions4.net/journal/wp-c...200-525-WP.jpg |
Wow! that is a spectacular find... thanks for posting. :banana::banana:
Actually it is the same cat in both pictures, about 5 years difference. The sable burmese darken considerably and get more silky with age. jr |
