For SONY Lovers : KV-7010-UA
Good day Gentlemen,
Scans of two TV Brochures + the first 2 pages of the Servive Manual concerning the SONY KV-7010-UA, nothing less than the first ever Trinitron color TV to be mass-produced in 1968, A 7 inch diagonal CRT unit, NTSC version for the US market. It remained NTSC/USA only and was never produced/modified for overseas markets. Many Thanks! to VK Forum member Marshall for these beautiful scans and the precious Service Manual as i have acquired one of these historic models. http://s281.photobucket.com/albums/k...V-7010UA-1968/ Best Regards jhalphen Paris/France

(Sob)...I had one of those & sent it off to a supposed AK member to fix, & never saw it or heard from him again...Good little set. My dad got it in fall '69 at Hammacher Schlemmer in NYC. I don't think they ever sold 'em mass-market, only in "Boutique" stores, & only in selected markets, like New York, LA, Chicago...

Nice! Thanks for posting. I have heard that there was a 7" set produced before the 12" (KV 1210 ?) but have never seen one! I suspect that the production numbers were very small.
jr I have long suspected that the caption on the photo on page 141 of "The Sony Vision" by Nick Lyons was wrong. Last edited by jr_tech; 04-09-2010 at 02:21 PM. Reason: add pix

I have a 12" '69 (I think) Sony out in the garage, now I'm curious as to the model #. I'll check it out tonight and see.

R=remote S=cable-ready tuner X=has multi-video inputs A=late production That 7010 isn't the same Trinitron tube we are all familiar with, though. It's basically a conventional envelope, with curvature vertically and horizontally on the face. All other Trinitrons from the earliest models, were vertically flat. I think I also heard the Chromatron rumor, and it may be partially correct, and would include all KV-7010 variations. Charles

Good day Gentlemen,
Hawkwind, Thanks! for these great scans. As this Sony KV-7010 seems to interest many readers, i scanned the block diagram and the entire schematic and posted them on PhotoBucket as an add-on to the first documents: http://s281.photobucket.com/albums/k...V-7010UA-1968/ The CRT is indeed a true honest-to-God Trinitron, not an Indextron and not a Chromatron* - see zoomed section of the CRT representation on the schematic below. Remember, Sony had a terrible experience with the Chromatron and the Trinitron was invented to get out of the mess and re-establish they good name. Link here to the original thread, there is a pix of the 1961 Chromatron launch. VK rule, can't post again the same pix to preserve server space. http://www.videokarma.org/showthread.php?t=178843 Best Regards jhalphen Paris/France
