Did Sharp make a red color TV (13 inch or above)...

[dr.ido]

The model number escapes me at the moment, but I've had 1 model of low end Sharp receiver is red, black and silver.

Besides the TV, I learned from research that this is identical to Sharp VC-381 in silver color, and it's made in 1983. Ever serviced one and was it reliable?

As cheap as those are, they were reliable! All I remember being wrong with those, was a dirty mode switch and hardened belts & idlers.

Even Sharp's portables are pretty reliable and servicable.


Sharp may have a red set to go with your machine, as many other Japanese electronics mfrs. in the '80s sold red-cased sets. I guess it was the cool thing to do, heh.
