Wink Sony Indextron SCORE!!!!!!

I just had the find of the year! I saw this Sony Indextron on eBay, and never thought in a million years I'd win it for what I bid... I DID!!!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=310125196063

Then, I had a lot of trouble believing that the set could actually still be in working order, as there are only a couple of them known to exist still working. I got it today, and it is indeed brand-new. As any of us Sony enthusiasts know, the gray plastic finish around the control buttons gets shiny almost right away with any use. Not on this set! The factory kinks are still in the AC adaptor cord too. I gingerly plugged it in, and pressed the POWER button...... In a couple seconds, it came to life! It's such a weird picture in that if you blink, you see either all red, all green, or all blue. That's because of the fact that it's the Indextron, and not a standard color tube. (the tech aspects of the Indextron tube were discussed by other AKers in another thread).

This was a GREAT birthday present to myself!!!!!!!
