Hi just got hold of this model KV-1800UB taken back off to dust out does anyone know where the end of this attaches?

Thanks.

If it is red green or blue, then it it will go to CRT base.

Hi it's a clip that's holding 4wires think it's to keep them out of the way of something.

My God. I haven't seen, nor worked on one of those since the mid 1990's.

It does bring back memories though. As heavy as an elephant, with a neck like a a giraffe.

The only Sony Trinitron I have in my collection is a KV-1440AS Mk2.
Have fun restoring it, and don't try to adjust any pots unless you are prepared to spray some cleaner into it first.

Hope the tube's OK - they weren't too long lived unfortunately.

Every one i ever saw the tube was flat, those thick neck trinitrons weren't much good, and of course viciously expensive from sony.

Same here, without exception but there must have been a few good ones. John.

I was fairly lucky with the 1800 tubes, it was the 1810 that scared people, but they were tamable, I got a 1330 in a few weeks ago, they were belting little sets too.

Arrgh!, the 1810, still strikes terror into all those who had the misfortune to deal with them, there was a fixed multi step procedure for them, miss a step at your peril, otherwise the thunk of doom!.
