You got a great deal ($150) on that KV-25TH. I'd never think of selling mine that cheap.

Funny thing is, I wasn't even looking for a KV-25TH, I was looking for a KV5200 and it's sister sets. I went from Google images to eBay, and landed in a section I hadn't seen before that had various other sony portable TV's listed, so I scrolled down and saw this.

Given their rarity and typical cost, I had decided it would not be feasible to add one to my collection. I was totally wrong!

As soon as I read the description and the price, despite the flaw of pitting on the top silver chrome on top of the set, I couldn't click Buy It Now fast enough.

I bought mine used when it was almost new. It also had the frosted look to most of the chrome then. Most I have seen have this, so it must be normal. Yours appears to have some hand rubbing (polishing) around the buttons perhaps from being used a bit.

Just a fabulous find! Enjoy it!

I have a Sony KV5100 which I think it was a Hospital set because the UHF tuner is missing.

Also the Panasonic TR-545 too.

The other set do look familiar .I probably have some of them in my collection .I love these small sets.They take up less room.

My KV5100 is my favorite set. I watch it quite a lot more than I feel I should with it being such a high hour set.
