Bottom line: The VTG Sony Trinitron KV-5100 Econoquick Solid State CRT Color TV 1970s UNTESTED is a niche pick — read recent reviews before buying in the displays & upscalers category. Read recent reviews carefully before committing.
I was told by the previous owner that it works but I don’t have a way to test it myself so it’s sold as-is. It was used in a TV news van so they could watch the playback while out in the field. No power cord. Antenna appears broken but it comes with another antenna that might work as a replacement. Sold as-is for parts or repair. No returns accepted due to the untested nature of the item.
