Yesterday at #PAXEast two former Sony employees were walking by the Hit Save booth and noticed our #Trinitron CRT retro setup! Turns out they were both part of the team that made these legendary #CRT TVs a reality! We made sure to pass on our thanks and praise from the #retro gaming community! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Just wanted to show off the #Sony KV-25th. This is a 5" #Trinitron (6" #CRT tube 5" viewable.) This was a limited edition of 2500 to celebrate the Trinitron's 25th birthday.
This one was having color demodulation problems but @crtdatabase.com fixed it by replacing the Sanyo LA7672 jungle chip.

Now that I have "cleaned up" a bit, I have that little extra space on the table for this baby. Adopted it from @pointerfunction.bsky.social 2 weeks ago. Now I need to get some proper scart-to-bnc cables so I can actually use it. #retrogaming #pvm #trinitron
