Sony KV-7010UA puzzler: Different tri-color logo style

[kx250rider]

I never saw one while I was working for a Sony factory repair shop in LA through the '80s and '90s, while I did see and work on plenty of KV-9000s and KV-5000s. But we had the manual on the 7010. That's interesting that your family got one new from Hammacher-Schlemmer. I can't remember if any of the major stores sold Sony that early, but I remember that my mother wanted a portable color set in '69-'70, and only Fedco had Japanese sets. The department stores only carried RCA, Zenith, etc in color sets, and Consumer Reports wrote that the Japanese sets were the best bet for small color portables at the time.
