Wow she is beautiful!

Anyone here would love to get one of them. Probably the
rarest set except maybe the $10,000 Sony 26".

Not so rare that you young whipper-snappers never seen
is the Sylvania consoles with a built in slide adaptor.
It turned out to be "troublesome" so in the end they
were sold off as TV's only, slide section as-is. Dont
remember chassis ## but it was most or all tubes,
late 60's IIRC

I believe that the 10K Sony was a 30 inch... huge for a CRT at the time (mid 80s?) .

Here is a thread about another film/tv combination:

Fun stuff for sure!

KV-3000. I've got one with the matching optional equipment cart, if anyone is interested.

They also had a cassette player in there for slide function. Probably used for narration. They might have had a tone signal on the tape to advance the slide tray or caraselle.
I only saw one. The yoke was bad for the spot scanner and it was scrapped.

The 1.33:1 TV screen, plus nominal overscan of probably 10% minimum, cut off a lot of a 1.5:1 35mm slide. trying to use a vertically oriented slide was even worse. At the time, no one would have accepted black bars at the top and bottom, since that would usually prompt TV owners to make a service call, thinking their picture had shrunk. No one wanted those kinds of calls within the warrantee period. So, the user saw a lot less of the slide than when projecting them the normal way.
