Yeah....Have one of these but it's not running. Only has sound. Also just got ahold of the little tiny JVC one as well.

This Sinclair has a REAL weird CRT with no yoke. I think it's electrostatic and I have NO idea how to work on one. I only have three sets that are "static display" (not working), and this is one of them. The others are a Panny Tr-1010 that died like a year ago....and a handsome little Sony 9" B/W "9-51UW" that I never really got into yet (sound, no pic). I guess I could also put one of the two Singer TV6U in that category. REAL pretty, but not running (yet).


Oh....I just also got today on ePAY (Was relisted like FIVE times so what the hell)...A perfect version of the CHEESY version of a Barbie TV. Looks to just be a Windsor 5" B/W set that you have seen a MILLION of in the early 80's .....but in PINK, and with a Barbie decal on top. No other Barbie specific stuff. The set even still says "Windsor" on the front. I thought at first someone just customized it, but apparently WAS a real Barbie licensed thing. (Pics when I get it Monday'ish). I generally don't really like those "big long box" 5" sets...but figured I should have at least one, so why not a real weird one.
