Who actually owns this set now...?

Capri Ken picked it up for me and brought it down here last weekend in his mint 4 wheel steer Honda Prelude, surely the coolest FCS ever with two (perhaps overly complicated) Japanese treats in one go!
Regarding the BD131, they are only rated at 45V and don't really have the gain to match Sony's "specials", hence the kink in the middle. One would probably let pass on a normal set but a half decent Sony should look almost as good as a studio monitor if all is well so it's worth sorting these niggly things out.
The next thing to do is to sort out the paper label behind the minor controls. This is a bit of a cheapie thing for them to have done with a "quality" set but when you look at the control panel from the back you can see that there are lots of extra holes for more controls, presumably for other markets. It seems that others also got more than 5 pushbuttons for preset tuning, perhaps Sony (UK) thought that five would be enough after the KV-1800UB with its manual tuning dial...
