Looking at a Sony 1252

Post the picture of the tubes. Even wear is one thing, burn or uneven wear is another.

It should be only a couple hundred, not a few hundred.


Hours left depend on how the tubes look. 10k average, but depends how it looks now.


Yes, wireless remote available.


Other question to ask? Will he deliver and help you carry it in.


hi neighbor

I think it is even wear, I shouldn't have used the term burn in.


I have to drive to Seattle to pick up, but maybe he'll carry it out to the car for me.


I guess it's not such a deal after all.


I got the manuals from Curt Palme's site, thanks for the tube link too.


I think you ad a picture by using the "attach files" button, if thats the way, here is a picture of the tubes


Thanks neighbors!!

Loudmouse - two things: 1) the 12s have a lot more fan noise and weigh a whole lot more than the 10s (but worth it for the picture); and 2) I have had the 52 , the 71 and the 72 and while the difference is slight, the 72 is the best of the batch. I put a 12 in the trunk of my 99 Q45 ok, and picked one up once and seat-belted it in the back seat of a compact car. Yes - a remote unit was available as an option for the 12s and comes up on eBay fairly regularly. They come in pretty handy when doing convergence. Overall most folks will agree that the choice between 12s really should be based on the tube condition of what is being offered more than the model, since they are so similar. The price for all the 12s (except the 1292) is about the same, so pick one in good condition, rather than the spec sheets. I suspect the marketing folks had more to do with the spec sheets than the engineers. That's my less than humble opinion anyway.
