Hi to all,
This week (Oct 11th 2021) a Sony XKV-55 Indextron "car TV" sold on E-Bay. It was located in Australia. TV was +/- recapped, produced a distorted white raster, no video. https://www.ebay.com/itm/22462919817...2Cchnl%3Dmkcid Hoping that someone from this forum acquired it, will fix it and post Indextron photos sometime in the future. 3x photos from the E-Bay auction.

Thanks etype2 - I have not turned it on again since I received because I want to look inside to see the condition of the capacitors, etc. Hopefully I will get to it soon, and if everything looks good, then I will try and take more pictures. How are things going with your Indextron?

Should have it up and running soon. I'm having a professional work on it. I will post some photos and details.

Great - looking forward to seeing it in operation. I know that all these surviving Indextrons must be recapped, but it would be great if there are any out there that can stay factory virgin! I would think it would be worth more that one that has been opened and altered.
OT - I sent you a PM. |

Here is a major heads-up for any VIDIMAGIC INDEXTRON fans - it looks really nice!
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Vidimagic-F...item3cafa5b0a1 I am not affiliated with this auction. |

Thanks! I suspect that I will follow this closely and throw in a bid, if things don't get too crazy!

jr - Go for it, I am not going to bid - not really my thing, and also low on funds for toys at this time - I never know when a MUST have item will along.

Hey! Well Done!
Now start hunting for a high gain metal or glass-beaded screen to really make it a pleasure to watch - Think Advent projector screen for instance, others will surely chime in with other/more modern solutions. Best Regards jhalphen Paris/France |

jr - GREAT, glad you got it! I watched the auction end, surprised that there was only 1 bid - better for you!

Ok, lets keep this going.
I have one of the non-beta versions and will never do anything with it. Had it two or three years and forget if it even tries to work. The first one to PM me (via a reply here to determine first place) AND willing to pick it up at Kutztown in September gets it free. I do not want to try to pack it for shipping. Pickup at Kutztown only. My little Indextron is enough for me. Get your pony-express going.

Well, I heard a pretty loud thump on the front porch today as the perspiring UPS man dropped off a 54 pound package... Wow! this is much bigger than I expected, I was thinking that it was not likely much larger than a Sony KV-5200 with the addition of a lens on the front and Beta deck on the back! The projector measures about 9"x9"x26" and must weigh about 40 lbs!
Without even giving it a second thought, after it was un-boxed, I plugged it in, hooked up a DVD player, and started watching a video projected (dimly) on the wall. Perhaps I should have been more cautious and brought it up with a Variac, but it is playing fine! What a cool application of the technology of 1984. I took a picture of the image projected on the wall (about 5.5 ft diagonal, 16:9 aspect) and you can see that it is fairly low resolution and the color stripes show up... Pix 1 If you "look down the lens" it looks like Pix 2 (except it is upside-down) Great fun! jr PS: I suspect that the performance is similar to the tiny Pico Pocket projector...
