Found a 32 inch Sony KV-32FS12. Picture comes and goes, and snapping sounds.

Sorry to hear that set didn't work out for you, sony's dont seem to have the reliability record they once had. Too many PS and flyback issues with these sets.. As a matter of fact, maintaining my 36XBR450 is about as much a pain in the rear as msintaining electical gremlins in late model VW's...

Was entirely unsatisfied with my '04 Wega. Bad CRT and IK shutdown.

Have a 99 KV35S40 that still looks great after tons of use and not one repair.

It will inevitably develop PS issues though, since these late 90s ones all seem to.

Its weight was going against it too. The smoke was the final nail in the coffin. Thank the lord I have a truck! Trying to lift that monster out of a car would have probably thrown my back out.

Sony's were always heavier than the others. On the late model sets, it certainly ain't the paper-thin cabinets making em heavy. So, what exactly is it? Is it the trinitron aperture shadow mask? CRTs are inherently heavy items but Sony's are always weighty. But think about it: No transformers adding lots of weight (even with them the chassis don't weigh much at all)

And sony's have like 3/4" glass on the crt face too!
