That power cord alone is almost worth that. VERY hard to find those Sony 4-prong cords WITH the set sometimes. Even harder to find that cord just by itself if you want one on your workbench. I have a 303 and a "305U" (or somesuch) with the UHF tuner. Both work pretty good, although the 303 I have does have an odd "silvery faces" problem. I was told this is a sign I'm losing the CRT on that set.
Even being solid state, both these sets take awhile to come up for some reason. Usually see these in decent condition for around fifty bucks....and "unknown" condition (that cord is almost ALWAYS missing)...for like $35. If it's in the blue case when you find it, It's likely complete with the cord in that pocket...and in running condition.
These are trippy to work on. chassis with all the PS caps...an upper and lower pc board that both sorta swing out. Everything is pretty tightly packed, but it's pretty easy to poke around and check stuff. Not anything as bad as trying to work on a 301 (EASY to work on...EXTREMELY hard to check anything while running)
