As I worked for a former Sony dealer, I proclaim that there was never a 2" Trinitron. At least not CRT. There may well have been 2" LCD color Sony Watchmen in the 90s and 2000s, no idea on that part.

Sony's smallest color CRT was the 3.7". This was in the KV-4000/4100 (1981), and also in a variety of camera-top mount EVF's and monitors. The KV-4000 will fit in a shoebox, so that is likely the set in question.

Panasonic is the only set I know of with a slip-on magnifier, and had many B&W 1.5" CRT sets from '68 through the mid 80s, and the highly prized color CT-101 in '83. That Panasonic color 1.5" CRT showed up in a few RARE color electronic viewfinders in some RCA color cameras of the mid-80s too.
