Skip all Sony tvs.. It's just not worth the hassle.. Most of them will never work.
By the way, $10 is a perfectly fine price to pay for a good tv for a swap. My limit is $15, but I have to know its gonna work. I end up paying for one out of 5 or six I find.. So many out there.. Just had a slam dunk at goodwill.. Tvs were $20 each.. Asked the manager if he would give me a deal if I bought 4.. He gave them to me for free!
I ended up leaving a donation and my card for more tvs
trinitron tubes will never work unless the chassis is made for them. The deflection is not the same as regular in line gun CRT's.
they also do not look right or the same. Often the pitch is too good to give you the arcade look along with the vertical continuous phosphor stripes.
I have a sony broadcast monitor that I use for testing. It gives a great picture but especially for vertical games it looks wrong but great at the same time.
