I finally snagged one of these little Sony's for a good price.
Picked this one up an an Antique Mall for $10 as-is, other than being dirty and missing the orange tip on the antenna it's in really good shape.
I happened to find a 12v adapter for a Sony in my garage last night when I was cleaning, maybe that was a sign. :scratch2: I used it today to test this set and it does work, somewhat, it has 3/4ths of a raster and sound so it probably just needs some caps and Deoxit to be fine.
I said the antenna was missing it's tip but there's one in the picture? yes, I borrowed it from the KV-1201 sitting in my dining room.
The end of the antenna is all bent up for the first couple inches, the one on the 1201 uses the same rods so I may swap it out since this is the nicer of the two sets.
