CRT Spotlight - The Sony KV-1207 - A Classic Woodgrain Trinitron from 1982

Hey everybody! Here's another CRT Spotlight for you, featuring this lovely Sony KV-1207 that I regularly use for a lot of my video consumption of stuff hailing from the 1980s. Obviously being that this television itself was built in 1982 and has the aesthetics to match, it certainly makes for a wonderful display for old movies on VHS and RF-only game consoles.
Unlike many of the televisions in my storage rack that I only power up from time to time, this Trinitron is one of my regularly used TVs and sits across from my comfy chair in the game room (check it out, I'm running a dual screen setup!).
Based on the amount of new interest I received on my last CRT Spotlight video, I figured this easily will become a regular featured series on my channel here. After all, I certainly own enough CRTs to keep new videos on this topic coming for quite some time! But of course, I appreciate all of your kind feedback and hopefully I'll have a good variety of new content posted for you soon. In the meantime, enjoy!

Love the genuine appreciation for the hardware. I'm the same with my consoles, I haven't modded any of them, if the jail bars are there it belongs there, I love'em. Great channel, subbed liked, commented and shared!

Thank you for the kind words! Yeah I strongly prefer to keep my hardware stock. I have so many other options if I really wanted to see something pixel-perfect, it's seeing the imperfections and idiosyncrasies that really makes me enjoy the thing I'm gaming/watching content on. For instance I've refused to install a Buzz Off kit in either of my Vectrex consoles simply because I love the buzz! It's part of the experience!

At a fle market a year back I found an 83 13" Sony Trinitron model KV1331 in great cosmetic and working condition. The TV was very low hour set so it still has a great picture. I did replace all of the electrolytic caps as I had one fail short in another Sony Trinitron which was a little bit newer and took out the flyback transformer.

I've been pretty lucky with most of the 80s Sony sets that have passed through my hands over the years, of course as they age I'm fully set up to replace the capacitors but it's a project saved for when I actually need to do it. Surprisingly enough I tend to have more geometry issues due to aging caps on my late 90s/early 2000s Trinitrons!

I just bought a 1982 sony kv-2648r floor model at auction..I am having a hard time finding any info about it..the tv looks like it was just pulled out of its original box for the first time..not a spot of dust inside or out, not a single cobweb, not a single scratch..how do you price a 42 year old brand new tv?🤔
