Yup.....Used to say that when I was 20 even, that Sony Trinitron sets were "alien"....and I have NEVER managed to bring one back.

Only RECENTLY claimed my ONE and only Sony victory....and it's an old 700U set I had sitting around for like 25 years. I had that 700U since I had JUST come from Hong Kong and wanted a real portable set since I wasn't stable yet. From a garage sale, it ran for maybe a year or two and then VERY suddenly had only a white raster. It's an old B/W set...but to this day the only Sony I have ever revived. My next one looks to be the 8-301W that I have MOSTLY running.
