Re-acquired my Sony KV-1204A...

[zeno]

Before the SG sets Sony wasnt that hard to deal with except getting parts.
The set with 2 HOT's used one for sweep & one for HV. Panasonic also
tried it. It worked good. 2SC867 were also used for vert outs. In the
day they net abt $8 & SG613's abt $25.
The first SG set was a 17" with all the controls along the bottom. Early
runs had an SG in the power supply & another for the HOT. That was an absolute nightmare ! Its in Sams if you want to see one. I took one look
at it & ran like hell ! Having one was like a cloud of doom hanging
over the shop. NOT for the faint of heart

LFOD !

The newer models that used the SG613 were a rather big headache. I did everything by the book, the set failed a year or so later. I checked the set out and it seemed like the same failure. I told the owner it wasn't worth repairing, as I cant see the picture. Those CRT's didn't fair that well.
