Sony Collectability?

The later stuff like Mega Watchmans are still too new and plentiful to attract much attention, and they weren't really significant in any technical sense either.

The Trinitron tube was a game changer when it came out, I don't think anything on the market then could touch it for picture quality.

I have a largely complete collection of the 5" sets from the 70's and 80's now. I even have doubles of each model. They are still common, but uncommon in really top condition.

I still need to find a good KV4000 that's not commanding a ton of money. I already have a KV4100 that's near mint condition.
