Found a Little color Sony, and it is OLD.

[rca2000]

The model number is KV-9000. I.m guessing around 1972, or so. The CRT appears to be good, I get a good Horizontal line, and it is white, and plenty brightness, so of course I turned it to min. brightness and Picture, till i figure out the vertical problem.

And, it is a weird one! I do have just a line, EXCEPT when i change the channel, or mess with the tuninng, or vertical control. THEN, it opens (not fully, but over halfway, )for a second or two.

i hope I have a manual for this little trinitron. I've got a feeling some caps will need changed.

BTW-- This set has instant on! I noticed the filaments of the crt, and they stay lit, after I turn it off!, I don't see an override switch, either(yet).

This was a garbage find, a couple of subdivisions from my house. It is missing a couple of knobs, and has a cracked place at the bottom of the cabinet, wherethe front seperates from the back, but is otherwise in good shape., it even has the antennas attached to the back.

Any idea of worth, or rarity?

last week, I found a 1960 Admiral 19" BW portable, also near my house, which I will talk more about in the BW section
