This little Sony followed me home
 

There was this Sony TV-115 all-transistor B/W set sitting under a table behind where I work. I guess someone was dumpster diving at the antique store again.

While it does give a good picture though the VHF tuning knob is missing, plus the contrast and brightness have to be almost maxed to give a bright picture.
Aside from the handle and DC jack it doesn't seem all that interesting, except that apparently someone (who owned another TV-115) mailed Apple back in the 70's about how to make one work with their computer and one of Apple's tech support guys got back with this response:

Never heard of this Steven guy before. :smoke:

Steven? Sounds like a really nice guy and really upstanding businessman.

I wonder if that signature is a rubber stamp or not.

Hard to remember now that there actually WAS a Human-Type Being at the very back of all the PC jargon..

Nice. I think those scratches on the screen will polish out with a scratch remover compound. :)

Sony had a way with that little stuff! A fine example you have there!

Nice set ,pix looks great and nice letter from late Mr Jobs.Mr Jobs sig looks real to me but a writing forensics expert could help on that. I might have a similar set here or I might mistakenly thinking of the Panasonic I have in the shed.

If you remove the dark screen, you'll probably have all the brightness you'll need.

I'm thinking this set and letter ought to be taken to a Antiques Roadshow event. A early piece of Apple history has got to be worth some bucks.

I didn't see where the letter came with the set, or even is in the OPs possession...

Sorry i thought Electric City Radio supply was where Mips works and that it is the addressee of the apple letter. I inferred that this set and letter was something leftover/forgotten from mips workplace.

No, I do not have that letter. Again:

It's the second image hit when you google the set, followed by...

...and a bunch of trash from Terapeak.

Well, my error exposed. no harm no foul. Nonetheless nice tv set which someone else wished to use with a early Apple computer. Still a nice tv.

Quite nice!!!!!!!
