1977 Sanyo

Found a real nice 1977 Sanyo 19 inch tv by the dumpster at my apartment complex. It works very well has a metal cabnet plus ports for Sanyo's old Vcord tape recorder and a VTR input.

Nice. Not often you find such an old set with AV input. It should be easy enough to find a PL-259 to RCA or BNC adapter to use that input (it's standard composite video on an uncommon connector). The 8 pin VTR connector is a probably the standard pinout found on many commercial/industrial VTRs. I've had Panasonic and JVC VHS decks that carried it, it's not limited to Umatic and EIAJ decks.

Man, that's pretty sweet.

Yeah I was pretty happy to find this, thanks for the adapter info I was wondering if there were any out there for this tv. Would be neat to find an old commercial VTR or Vcord player.

That is an awesome find!

Love my '83 Sanyo with metal cabinet-It is the perfect tv for vintage video games.
Great find

At last...something that RS is good for. They have the 259 to BNC version. Then you need to add a RCA-Female to BNC adaptor. Probably in the next drawer. And don't let Eric Estrada sell you a cell phone.
