The ba*rds!

This is a special Sony made in about 1981. Part of the reason it cost $10,000 was that it was a very limited edition. It had a 30" tube - the biggest CRT made until Mitsubishi's 35" monsters came out in '85. Those doors in front of the screen were motorized, and the cabinet was made of some sort of exotic wood (I forget what it was). I think one of us has one, and I'll defer to him for more details, but that's what I remember about it.
