They had a "tude".. Then towards the late 80's they started shipping out crap, and rolled with it because they were SONY. I look for older Trintrons, but have discovered that it's "good luck" finding a decent tube on one.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one whose not too crazy about Sony. Not only were parts hard to get, they were also way over-priced. And if you were not a Sony authorized servicer, you could forget about getting any tech assistance from them.
I can say one thing for them, they built the heaviest portable TV's on the market in the 1980's. Those darn things were a pain in the back to get up on the workbench, and a pain elsewhere once you got it taken apart
