Hi to all,
Hi TV-collector,

Glad ! you saw your Columbia TV on Mr T's Blog.

If anyone is interested, here are 121 photos of the NHK Museum i took in 2013 :

At the Sony Museum, taking photos was forbidden.

As to buying collectibles from Japan, sites such as "Buyee" makes things quite easier.
here, for instance is the "collectible TV section" :

Thank you very much for the photos Jerome! It is a treat to see the Yaou/General Colornet set up close. What I would do for one of those...

I know Buyee and the other proxy sites well; that's where I got the subject of this thread I have a few more black and white sets on the way I'll probably make a separate thread on eventually.

Hi to all,
Hi again cj-reha,

NHK Museum : yes, i was thrilled to see a real Yaou/ColorNet beam-index TV, too bad there are no working demos of antique TVs.

Tokyo visit 2013, here's is a tour of Akihabara, used to be known as "Electric Town", everything electronics & specialized boutiques for parts :

unfortunately, by 2013 there were no more of the gorgeous hi-fi items & sophisticated TVs/Video gear we used to see in the magazines of the 70s & 80s when journalists travelled to cover the yearly shows.

TV of my dreams & totally unobtainium : the Sanyo CTV-30 Watchman/Flat CRT color TV, 1986. e-type4 has one in his collection, see here (scroll down mid-page) :

One of our French forum members has scanned many Japanese European TV & hi-fi catalogues of the 70s & 80s
all as downloadable pdf's :
