Nice find, Eric! CRT looks excellent. I had (have?) a 1980 Blackstripe 19" which also had a fantastic picture on it. They are fairly ruggedly built inside too from what I remember, with big heatsinks and to-3 devices throughout. Bet it is a heavy TV for it's size.

EDIT: I still have the set. It's in the attic, and as I recall had an electronic ultrasonic remote with a little hook on the back of the TV for safekeeping! As time marches on these Japanese sets are going to get more and more collectible, IMO...And I feel Toshiba and Hitachi were some of the best from this time frame.
