I had one of the Sony KV-3000s... That was the 30" Tamo Ash console mentioned earlier in this thread. It was originally $10,000, but I got mine from a local retailer in '86 for much less because they couldnt' ever sell it. The chassis was a commercial CVM-3000, with a very complicated tuner board coupled to it. It also had remote motorized tambor doors. Very rare, and I have only heard of 4 sets including (formerly) mine.
The 43" PVM-4300u was a publicity stunt, and all of them were recalled by Sony for destruction according to a Sony official with whom I talked after the display model disappeared out of the Circuit City in West Los Angeles after several years. Amazingly, 3 have turned up in private hands. There are 2 of them here all tied up in probate in Orange County, and a 3rd one that showed up on eBay several months ago Back East. I wouldn't want to be in the room if one of those imploded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
