I must say that I was very surprised to read the negative comments here about the Sony KV-1810UB. I have one that dates from about 1972 (with its original operating manual). It was used quite a bit, has never had any problems and still works! I recall at the time just how much better the single gun Trinitron picture quality was in terms of natural colours and sharpness of picture than just about every other make on the high street. In my view that remained true right throughout the period of CRT use.

Anyway, that’s just my experience. The main reason I am posting is that I need to have a clear out. I don’t want to throw this old TV out and if anyone feels able to collect it from GL5, I would be happy to donate it to a good home.
