My 50 Year Old 1977 Sony FV-1512 Pickup

My pickup from this weekend at the Fitchburg Warehouse!

I already have some high end screens so my goal was to pick up something different and/or cool. So I ended up deciding on this little 15" Sony for some wood grain and chrome! She cleaned up reasonably well but definitely needs some work. Shes RF only so I had to get an adapter to convert the cable F jack to the antenna plugs

Vertical deflection seems to be the biggest obvious issue and one of the knobs is busted though still in tact. Some purity issues on the left as well which does go away with a very light magnet so that shouldn't be a big deal to get around.

Audio works and she seems to stay powered on reliably so its looking like I've got a restoration project for the summer!

A cookie to anyone that can tell me what game this is trying to display lol
(hint: its NOT Excitebike)
