Sharp Equivalent to Sony CVM-1220/1225

[vintage.digi]

I've only seen these monitors once and they sold before I had a chance to get to them. I haven't been able to come across any information about them, but I figured if anybody knew about them it would be someone here. As the title states, they were roughly equivalent to the early color CVMs; they had a television style cabinet with horizontal arrangement, a tuner, and composite inputs in the back. The composite ports were SO-239 and there may or may not have been a second composite input through a VTR port. I don't recall if they carried the Linytron branding or not.

Has anyone seen monitors like these? I've never come across them again.

Sharp did have high quality monitors with gorgeous (Simulated Wood Grain) cabinet.
It was a 13" or 14" Linytron had tuner, and many inputs that I have never seen
before. We had 2 in our shop, I worked at a satellite Sharp service center
around 1981 - 84. We did factory service for Sharp, and many other
brands. But for Sharp we had a lot of stuff I never saw in stores.
The Linytron sets were really good, I have several in my
collection from 9" - 25" - one of which is my daily driver
since 1984 or 85, With of course Simulated Wood
Grain Cabinet.... I Love those years for all
makes of tv sets.... Those monitors had
a ton of knobs on them too, and clicker
tuners, nice quality speakers too!
We made many trips to the Sharp
US Headquarters in Paramus,
NJ - Just about 20 Minutes
from the shop......

They might have just
had the SHARP name
on them, not sure....
