My first vintage set was a 303 my dad gave me from his collection maybe 15 years ago. I actually keep it seperate from the regular collection because he gave it to me, and now he's gone.
Was running fine. I'd turn it on maybe twice a year just for fun....but it's now getting REAL dim, and takes longer to come up to a picture. I've not yet gotten into it to see what may be up with it. Have a 305 as well. That one just needed a real good cleaning up and I repainted it's little black control panel. I just FINALLY found one of those Sony power cords on ebay so I can actually run all the Sony sets. The 305 came without one. Now would be nice to find one of those cords (the funny little 4-pin one)... so I can have one on my coffeetable/workbench for WORKING on these.
