By memory, the last KV-5100 I saw new in a store, was at a Sony authorized retailer in West Los Angeles in 1981. It could have been on the shelf for a couple years, much like a drug store in Northridge, CA which had a few Panasonic CT-101s in stock til 1994 (was a 1982 set). Small and expensive TVs seemed to sit awhile.

Good stuff. I saw your previous thread where you dated the 5 inch Sony's. Wanted to be sure on the dates.
