Model number AV-2687S. Seen this listed on Craigslist several days ago at an estate sale and couldn't resist. Ended up being a 2 hour trip one way but I'm glad I got it. Probably more for my NES than anything. Paid $30 with original remote. Glass in front with aluminum door below and the speakers have doors on them. Heavy too:D

Front and rear connections

I'm not a very tech guy, meaning I know some specs, but not more. But this tv is very nice. That's what I can say. And I see that you enjoing it. Nowdays sets aren't so impresive. :no:
But what the Detail knob does?

I think it's the same as the knobs on other sets labeled as sharpness

Nice set. Not a lot came in. Sets from the 80's were the best.
Still well built & had most of the important features.
It is sharpness. If you have a snowy or grainy pix just back it
down. Cuts down on the high freq response of the video amp.

I always thought 80s were the best. Seem to last forever.

Nice one. Its got S Video on the rear panel off to the right, correct?

And that skew control on the front; that is something I have only seen on high end VCRs of the time, to fix flagging/bending on the top of the picture. Anyone know if that's what this is?

Definitely a top set of the day

Yup. S-video. It has alot of stuff. But I've never seen covers on speakers before. I wonder what the purpose was. Deflection maybe?

Perhaps it is simply cosmetic. When you disable the internal speakers and pipe the audio into an external sound system, the internal speakers are muted.

I am also wondering what "EE" is on this set. It might be an early incarnation of Scan Velocity Modulation called Edge Enhancer.

Having owned a '92 JVC model AV-2672S, which was a 26" tube with MTS and S Video, they make a wonderful picture. Mine had detailed OSD for its time but none of the other bells and whistles this one does.

But does it haves separate chroma connectors for each one of the colours?

These sets don't have that, usually only the JVC pro monitors did. The HR- series was a spectacular build. I personally would take late eighties JVC over Sony for much of their video equipment including cameras. I think they were dead-set on using S Video for consumer due to their firm hold on the S/VHS patents and they were making fine y/c separators in the video machines at the time. Perhaps the best in the world.
