New-to-me Sony Trinitron KV-1710

[AdamAnt316]

Hello, everyone! I've generally shied away from TV collecting, but this showed up during a "ZoomFest" held in lieu of my antique radio club's usual spring swap meet, and I just couldn't help myself. It's a Sony KV-1710, circa 1972. Supposedly one of their last sets to use (mostly?) discrete transistors. The 17" Trinitron jug seems to give a good picture; the reds might be a bit weak as is typical, but the picture seems pretty well balanced from what I've seen with my NES 'toploader' game console connected to it as a makeshift source. Here are some photos of it, both off and being fed with the title screen of Super Mario Bros. 3:





And for fun, a snippet from a Burdick's ad found in a 1972 edition of the Santa Cruz Sentinel, showing an ad for the KV-1710:
