Manufacturer description

VINTAGE GAMING SONY TRINITRON KV-1214 UHF VHF 12” COLOR TV WOOD CASE 1976 WORKS! The TV has a couple of flaws. 1) The “PICTURE” knob is broken off. The remaining piece inside still rotates left and right when engaging it with a tool. 2) The UHF knob is seized up and the light does not power on in the UHF number box when the Auto/Aft knob is engaged. Based on what I read about these old televisions, for the ways these are used in modern times, it serves no purpose anyway. 3) The glass screen shows some scuffing. Most notably on the lower left portion.
