Testing out a Sony Trinitron 20" CRT TV with VCR (Made in 1996)

I recently bought an older Sony Trinitron CRT TV from an estate sale for $28 and wanted to do a full test on camera so I set up the Super Nintendo and pull out the VHS tapes.

This Sony is from 1996 and the model number is KV-20VM30.

It is a 20 inch Trinitron with an internal VCR that works great. It actually did eat my Whoopi Goldberg classic but I think it was my fault - I need to test out a null tape and see if it does it again. (I pressed STOP and the cassette barely came out but I think the tape was still wound up and I tried to pull it out of the VCR early).

The TV accepts composite RCA cables but only mono sound so I had to buy an adapter from stereo composite to mono composite.

TV works flawlessly and the Super Nintendo works amazing - I just bought that last week on eBay for $129 (plus tax and shipping) and it has a bit of yellowage but was disclosed in the listing. Works flawlessly and the two controllers do as well.

I also just bought a Super Mario World cartridge for $25 on OfferUp and it works as well. My next move is to buy a video capture device so that I can start screen recording walkthroughs and all that fun stuff. I'd love to go through this game completely before I buy another.

I've only been collecting VHS tapes for a few weeks and this is why I was attracted to this particular model of the Sony and I didn't know how much it cost when I saw it at an estate sale online. I was pleasantly surprised when I got to the sale and saw the $28 sticker. These have ranged from $0.50 to $1.59 from estate sales to Goodwill and thrift stores. I'm trying to only buy movies from the 1990s as a bit of a 90s collection.
