'82 Sony CVM-1250 color TV/monitor

[radiotvnut]

I had this Sony CVM-1250 Trinitron color TV/monitor given to me today by a friend who obtained it in a massive load of stuff he purchased.

This is a 12" set housed in a wooden cabinet and says "for commercial use only" on the rear cover. The monitor connections are made via BNC connectors on the rear, as well as a VTR plug.

For the exception of very dirty controls, this TV seems to work well with a strong CRT. Unfortunately, there are some trim/decal pieces missing from the front that I will likely never be able to find; but, I think the rest of the set will clean up OK.

I figure these were most likely used by schools for in-house video productions, etc.

Here's a video I made of the set, showing more details:
