I have ZERO interest in those old Sony sets. Likely a GCS set---and we ALL know that means a NIGHTMARE in troubleshooting a dead -set !

MAYBE --if I wanted it--which I would NOT--and IF the tube was GOOD--(as we know trinitrons are NOT the longest--lived CRT's out there--NOTHING like a roundie tube..and they will NOT take rejuvination either..) i MIGHT offer $30 or so. But I would make SURE the tube was good first. If the set could not drive it--then I WOULD bring a tester like a CR-70 or such and make SURE it was ok.
It is the last SG613 chassis. I got one out of the dump in the mid
80's & used it for a bedroom set. Had an open damper, the
old top-hat style, SG613 & pass transistor shorted. Sold it later for
$200 I wish those days were back !
