Sony KV-1212 dumpster score!
Someone had the nerve to put this poor defenseless 'lil skreebler out next to the dumpster in the middle of some nasty, cold, drizzly weather. It had only been there a couple minutes or so because I had just thrown out a big bag of trash - it wasn't there, and forgot to empty out the Dyson dustbin. Voila, there it is.
Anyway, it wasn't wet... it's now sitting in my living room atop the Philco happily displaying colour bars. It has some problems, as you can see - and it does the same thing with the strong VTR signal that the Philco tuner did - the VTR is set for Ch3 but the TV displays a picture tuned to CH2. Picture is AWESOME... I can't tell you how much I love vintage Trinitrons. The PICTURE knob also has an ugly sticky patch towards the end of its travel. COLOUR and TINT knobs feel a little worn out, they offer little resistance while turning. Someone repainted it at some time in its life, it has a nasty coat of white paint over the woodgrain. How would I go about removing that without harming the woodgrain? Also, ideas on fixing the picture?
