Manufacturer description
The Sony Trinitron KV-8100 Color TV from 1982 is a vintage television set that is portable and equipped with a carrying handle for easy portability. Made in Japan, this Sony product is known for its quality and durability. The power supply is missing so the unit is untested. With its retro appeal and reliable brand, this Sony Trinitron TV would make a great addition to any vintage electronics collection or for those looking to experience a piece of television history. The knob for the picture slider is missing and the body has some scuffs and tape residue. Sold as is for parts and repair.
