Is this the $10,000 Sony?
 

...

Looks sure 'nuff like it.

i demand to know more about it.

i saw it at my grandpa's nursing home.. one day it died and they took it apart... the turned it intoa book shelf

The ba*rds!

This is a special Sony made in about 1981. Part of the reason it cost $10,000 was that it was a very limited edition. It had a 30" tube - the biggest CRT made until Mitsubishi's 35" monsters came out in '85. Those doors in front of the screen were motorized, and the cabinet was made of some sort of exotic wood (I forget what it was). I think one of us has one, and I'll defer to him for more details, but that's what I remember about it.

Holy crap! What a monster.

that could be the one. Where's Charles? He could sure nuf shed some light on inquiring minds.

damn, it would be fun to have one

About a year ago,there was another of these for sale in the L.A. area.I believe Charles new quite a bit about it and commented on that one.
What a stunning set,regardless of it's functionality.Has anyone tried contacting the seller to find out what the problem might be? I wouldn't mind having it just to look at.The bay area's just too far to drive..

Oops!

"Please come in pick up. Free..." Bring Forklift!

man i'd get it just to put new components in it and just use the great cabinet.....

...

I had one I sold three years ago on Ebay, I couldn't get it from my van into the house, IIRC it weighed about 550lbs!

If I was closer.....
 

I would do an emergency TV run and get this set in a HEARTBEAT!!! A KV-3000, for FREE!!

But I am WAAAAYYY too far away. And my van is still in the shop, anyway. Nonetheless-If it was within 500 or so miles--I would RENT a van and go get it!! (that is what I have decided I will do, if I come across something too big to put in the Riv right now. I will drive out to the Airport rental places(since they will likely only be the only ones open at night, if it is at night), and rent a van for a couple of hours, go get the item, and take it to my garage. Then, drive the car back home.)


SOMEONE here needs to get it RIGHT NOW!!

But one or 2 people could probably "teeter totter" one end of it into a minivan or truck, couldn't they, and then shove it the rest of the way in?
