A very used up (and broken) Sony Trinitron from 1976

About this video

Sony's 1976 KV-9200, a small early Trinitron, is worn out and broken, and the maker says it needed some repair before it would run again.

Good to know: The tube and flyback hold a high voltage charge after unplugging. A knocked or cracked tube can implode, so protect your eyes and never lift it by the neck. Mains voltage is inside. Contact cleaner is flammable and needs ventilation.

Why watch it

Early Trinitron history comes with the repair, and the maker lists Deoxit D5 among the tools. The maker calls these sets sturdy and heavy, built like little brick houses.
