I have a similar set, a PVM-1371QM, which is from 1985. It had sadly been dropped, and i bought it as such. On further investigation, the CRT base had several cracks, which i repaired. Still no picture, but EHT and heaters up, so promising. I then discovered large cracks on the input PCB at the side of the monitor, so more resoldering and jumper wire, but still no joy. Its currently on my 'rainy day' pile.

These sets dont take well to being banged around, and sometimes the finest cracks can prove elusive.

Sony would have sold thousands of these sets to tv production companies, educational establishments etc

Mine is missing the front control panel flap-i think most probably are, so not holding out much hope to find one.
