Hi Shawn,

Congratulations! for these great pictures.
Apparently you've still got some OTA NTSC in your location, that's great for testing.

Hi Charles,
Thanks! for the comment.
Coming back to the service manual, i would be curious to know if yours is more complete than ours, which may be a very early publication: no parts list, no alignment procedure, no CRT replacement instructions, no convergence & white balance procedure. Could you please have a look, if easy to locate, Thanks! in advance.

A last comment:
in this TV, only the 75V DC supply uses a conventional series-regulated ballast, all other voltages are derived from the fHOT/lyback system.

You can feel that Sony was testing the concept of alternate, more efficient power supply systems which would later come into full bloom in the KV-5000/5100 Series with the "switch-mode PSU from Hell"!
Miss ONE component in that one, and it's stone-dead or Kaboom!

Best Regards
