Color TV In Hospitals

[Findm-Keepm]

I once bought a used Sony KV-1310 set that had been modified by a California company for hospital use. It had two US-made isolation transformers added, and all of the knobs were changed to non-chromed versions, presumably to pass AC leakage tests. It had a whoppin' hospital grade three wire plug, and the ground connection went only to the Faraday shield on the isolation transformers and the center tap of the internal 300:75 ohm balun. The transformers were a tight fit, and had to be paralleled. It was about 8 years old then, but still sparkly-clean inside, with no yellowing of any labels. Great picture too.

I converted it back to normal for my use, and still have the two 300VA isolation transformers.

Cheers,

FindmKeepm, that Sony sounds great. Almost as if they liked the design (or Sony's reputation) so much that 'they' decided it was the TV for the job... But yeah they last just about til the crt is gone, so it is a great hospital set

Here's a question: When did society start getting picky about color TV? (hard to pinpoint a year)
