That sounds like a mid '70's model to me. The major issue with those '70's Sony's were that some of them used an oddball SCR in the horizontal output circuit. Those SCR's cost a fortune and are very easy to blow if you're not careful.

If it still works and if the CRT is in good shape; I'd say it would be a nice set to have around. I don't think theres much value on those sets at this time. It might bring $20-$25 from a collector of '70's TV sets. The average public would probably have to be paid to take it.

It seems that most consumers today want all the latest features for nothing and they are not interested in older sets. I have several sets from the mid '70's through the mid '80's (Zenith, RCA, Sony, etc.) that I couldn't sell for $5 each if I tried. So, I'll hang on to them for my own use. Ten years ago, these old sets would usually bring at least $65 on the used market.
