Anyone Have a Junker Sony KV-8000?

[jhalphen]

Hi to All,

Received from Germany a wrecked KV-9000E 9" Sony color TV.

I am furious. A**hole seller "packed" the set in a huge box with no bubble wrap, no peanuts, a few scraps of crumpled paper and no protection whatsoever.

Result: the set rolled about freely in the box and arrived with the front aluminum decorative face ripped from its mounting tabs and the plexiglas screen protection exploded. Miraculously, the CRT survived and the electronics work.

This is an interesting model, it's the PAL version of the physically identical USA KV-8000E and it has a monitor input so it can be used with a DVB-T tuner, DVD, etc.

I am therefore looking for a junker KV-8000 to swap the front face and the plexiglas screen. Anything sleeping in your garage or found at a yard sale? please quote me your price by PM.

See pictures of the KV-9000E - intact before shipping. The KV-8000's front face is identical.

Thanks! for any help,

Best Regards
