1986 Sears LXI 20" with Nudes
Hi everyone,
I've been meaning to post about this dumpster save since I joined. Sears LXI 564.42701650 Can't find very much info at all. I am pretty sure after reading it is made by Sanyo. It does in fact have 4 speakers that are Sanyo. The rgb input on the rear is somewhat of a mystery. Some say it is for a vhs camcorder in composite. Others claim it is digital rgb similar to a cga/vga monitor for DOS era games. I can't confirm or deny any of this from reputable sources. When I first got the tv last year I asked around in social media. Reddit/Facebook mostly said in a round-a-bout way that I should scrap it and buy a pvm/bvm and provided zero actual knowledge. No thanks. (the reason I joined here) I can't find very much about this tv, no manual or anything, but thanks in advance for anyone who cares to respond. After looking inside I think I will keep it as part of my collection, plus I like the Sears private label stuff too. The picture really isn't too bad all things considered and if I had nothing else I'd gladly be using it daily. The movie playing looks better in person as I used a phone camera-fyi. **The flip cover in the front is gone. If anyone has this or knows of one please let me know.** Thanks again for looking and the cloud link has a lot more pix of the board, etc. https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...Ow?usp=sharing Last edited by CRTs4life; 12-16-2017 at 11:59 AM. |

Wow cool set, surprised to see so many high end features on a 20" store branded set. The RGB input was common on a lot of high end Japanese sets in the mid 80's, it was for a computer.

Thanks dishdude.
It would have been a true shame to have it go in the landfill I thought. I am not doubting anyone but I sure wish I could see the manual and/or a pinout of the rgb connector. If it is in fact digital rgb, I always loved dos games and would use this as an excuse to buy an Amiga or another old PC like I had back then. You mentioned Japanese sets, I did see Japan/Made in Japan on a cpl place inside the set. Take care fellow CRT lover I updated the link for the rest of the pix, Google Drive and it works this time. |

The RGB input is going to be analog, it even predates VGA. I'm not sure why they all used that big bulky connector on TV/monitors when the computers and smaller monitors used a smaller 9 pin d connector.

That (EIAJ) connector was a Standard TV/VTR connector before home computers were a thing. It originally was used on early open reel consumer Videotape Recorders and on their companion TV/monitors (had a different pinout that supported bi-directional video and mono-sound). If they had made that connector support stereo (that would need more pins or a different wiring standard) we'd probably still be using it today...

Those Sanyo sets are almost indestructable, except for the CRT's, when they used Sylvania and RCA CRT's. |

Yup its a Sanyo probably with a Sylvania jug. The input is probably
whats called TTL (IIRC) for early computers. Dont remember any VTR's etc that had RGB. All I have seen were standard composite & audio. Have seen this connector for computers on a few high end sets. May take either ??? Very surprised it showed up on a Sears. 73 Zeno LFOD! |

Nice save but I definitely do not miss 1980s styling.

Mid 70's to late 80's are the best styling wise. 4 speakers and a full jack pack including a 1/4" headphone jack on a 20" set? Love it.

I have a Sears RGB monitor with EIAJ connector. Monitor is Philips made.

I didn't know that RGB input was used on anything other than monitors. I'd certainly like to be able to use that port on my U-Matic, once I get new rubber in it that is. |

About 10 years ago I had a working Sony PVM with an EIAJ connector for RGB input. My folks told me it was NOT coming with on a pending cross-country move, so I scrapped it. I still have the EIAJ connector from it (and a board or two)....Part of me wishes I had found a way to keep it.
