Not listed in Sams.
Probably one of the "component" line from the early 80's.
You may want to search by chassis number. Its on a big tag inside.
Most have this format SCC-###-??.

good luck

It's cool to see one of those complete. I've got a couple of the tuner/AV switcher units that I use to remote control 40s-70s era sets.

That's very cool set never seen one before in person or in a picture. Hop you get working.

Thanks, still waiting for the technician to fix the Tv, Me? just gathering cool stuff, Sony SL 2000 video recorder from 1981, I think it will do a good match.

I looked up the chassis ## still no Sams listed. ( Sams is the biggest
provider of reprinted manuals for US sold sets ). So your set may
never been sold in the US or in very limited numbers. BTW what
country are you in ???

When you find the FBT keep in mind the CRT connector is COAXIAL
& must be removed very carefully. The center has a spring on the CRT
that can bet bent or lost. The HV line from the FBT to the red H-STAT
control is a push down & turn.

good luck

I really appreciate your help, its in deed a rare set, was sold in 1980 Sony Profile line, extremely expensive and just a few units, as I find out It was sold in USA as well but probably by now just a few survivors.

I have the complete service manual for the Sony KX-2501, if you think it might give you insight on the operation of your KX-1901. Similar set with 25 inch CRT.

Nice find and your rack system is rare.

Hi, thanks, I feel so fortunately to find this set in my country which makes it harder, Bogota. I would appreciate if you can share the manual. Thanks.

I wish you well with the restoration of your KX-2501 and VTX-1000R tuner. I bought and owned those two models when they were available new in the USA, in early 1982. The cost was perhaps US$380 for the tuner and US$650 for the monitor, and that system utterly blew away everything else in the consumer market at that time.

In 1985, a local store had the KX-2501 (25-inch CRT) monitor for US$750, half of the retail price, so I upgraded to the bigger screen.

What was unique about this system was the ability to upgrade components as improvements were available. The original tuner VTX-1000R had cable tuning up to channel 36, then they made the VTX-1100R with 125 cable channels. Further, they also later sold the matching MLV-1100 (I think) that enabled broadcast stereo-TV sound. I remember getting those two units used at good prices some time later.

The SL-2000/TT-2000 will be a nice companion setup for your Profeel system as well.

Excellent, great details thanks, It was a wonderful setup in the 80s and I think it was quite expensive, etype2 has an incredible documentation and photos of this models.
