Trash find:Sony Wega 20"

[maxhifi]

Growing up, we had a 1982 21" Trinitron from 1988 through to 1999, when replaced with another Sony, as the main family TV. It was second hand from a family member, who used it more or less non stop from 1982 - 1988 before we got it, and every day after that. That TV was fantastic, the only issue it ever had was somehow the V-Hold pot got dirty, and became really touchy. I fixed it by spraying it with contact cleaner, and the TV kept on working. The main limitation it had versus its replacement was only a 36 Channel CATV tuner, and the screen size. I can say without any question that TV was brighter, sharper, has better geometry, and better sound than other TV sets in the family from other brands. Because of that TV, through to the end of the CRT era I always regarded Sony as a superior product.
