a relative of George Jefferson. By squeezing more milage out of the TV set, I can afford to move on up to the East side. (LOL)
Was a Huge sony console I got "free" as a premium for putting a bank CD away for 5 years. The fixed interest rate was 10.75 %. So the date was about 1980. It finally died in May of 2004--never had a single repair-- and I got the new Sony 46 inch RPTV then.
I don't expct this one to last that long.Interestingly, in terms of overall size the 46 incher fits the space the old console vacated very well, and I think most people who owned a pecan grained console would be happy.
They'll never be the same...
That old Sony of yours is a fine looking piece that blends well with furniture. My parents had an old 1980's Hitachi console TV with the wood enclosure that never actually died. The picture just got worse and couldn't be adjusted so they finally swapped it out last year.

While staring at a dead TV set and seated on the sofa on "the Culhanes of Cornfield county" as they dont have electricity yet."I woulda never bought that TV set had I known it was Electric. I thought it was Gas!"
Sadly that Sony went to the recyclers, pecan veneer cabinet and all!
Thankfully, the new one fits the old space well (above)
