Welcome.

Of all the vintage TVs I have the only one not made for the US market is a 60s Philips made for the Italian market.

Some time ago I restored two radios from the 50s Two minerva 515/2, one of my grandmother with the mid frequencies interrupted and another purchased for spare parts, then instead of cannibalizing it or restored the one with the same exact problem.

Now I'm trying to get a Trinitron kv-m1430a TV back in shape, but it doesn't want to start again

Your English is more than acceptable. Sardinia must be beautiful this time of year.

Welcome to VK, Sony and Zenith can be most challenging but always worth your time. More parts leads to unusual symptoms.
