It was a funny cute little TV, with a pinkish looking CRT safety glass and a very decent image, but with really crappy potentiometers! It lasted maybe five years with me, until it stopped working and due to my poor knowledge in fixing electronics at the time, got scrapped unfortunatelly.

Yours has a pretty good picture. Mine only would display a horizontal line until I replaced some electrolytic caps on the deflection board. Also I wound up replacing the resistors on that board in stages and as I completed each stage the raster got better. If the horizontal output transistor fails most any TO-3 horizontal output transistor will work as a replacement. Those pots I replaced with multi turn trimpots which makes the adjustments easier to set. I absolutely hate that connector as if the board is plugged in and unplugged too much the springy terminals at the back the wires connect to break then you have to solder wires to the board and it is no longer easily removable. The few caps replaced on the deflection board probably was what someone had to replace to make the vertical work. Lastly due to no analog TV stations I converted mine to accept a composite video signal complete with adding DC restoration so the picture looked better and I added a winding to the stock power transformer in series with the secondary so that I could use a 12 volt regulator as the TV is real sensitive to B+ voltage variations. Of course mine is the 5-707UW and I'm not sure if there's any differences other than cabinet color.

There's a way to use these TVs while getting a much better picture. Modify it to accept a composite video input and add an audio input jack. I have one of these Sony TVs and did just that using the headphone jack for the video input and the external antenna jack for the audio input. Of course I want farther than that and added DC restoration for an even better image than what simply adding a video input would give me.

His contributions to SNL, News Radio, The Simpsons, and his many, varied movie appearances made him a "Jack of all trades" , mastering many comedic facades to fit his characters needs. The "Officer Miller" skit on SNL, with Chris Farley,was absolutely hilarious, IMO anyways. Good repair synopsis , as always, on this TV, I think I have a similar model stashed away somewhere waiting to be tinkered with.

Elsound has the old style tube like this Sony tv and Casio tv has lcd screen. I rather watch on the Elsound than Casio. Black and withe tubes are good and clear. So i understand why people want someting like this Sony tv on travel. Because they have good picthure and at least they are portable.

@Archie Bunker,I agree completely. It hasn’t been funny in decades. It’s definitely overstayed its welcome and has become a poster child for the “quit while you’re ahead” philosophy. I was at a friends recently and it happened to be on and last episode I saw was filled with woke politics and was overbearingly heavy handed and preachy and I couldn’t help think how much the show had drifted from what it once was. I’m convinced the only reason Matt Groening has kept it around this long (besides the money) is because he wants to ensure it will always hold the worlds record for longest running show. If it goes on for 50+ years it’s highly unlikely anything else will ever break that record. Unlike the Dick Van Dyke show where the producers decided to quit while they were still on top,The Simpsons seems to be going for quantity over quality.
