I'm looking for a 1967 Sony portable, model TV9-306UB. It doesn't have to work, it will be for a display to replace one that was stolen. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim.

That's the one on the Sgt. Pepper cover, very cool!

Good luck with the search.

You're right. Paul McCartney bought two while they were on tour in Japan. One was used on the cover and I think the other was for John Lennon. I look after John Lennon's yellow Rolls-Royce Phantom V for the owner, the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, BC, Canada. This same model was installed in the rear seat console when JP Fallon Coachworks painted the car yellow and had artist Steve Weaver do the Romany style scrolls and flowers in 1967. The TV went missing from his car over 25 years ago. I am trying to find the same model of TV so I can donate it to the museum to fill the big hole in the console where it used to be. If you can think of anyone who may be able to help please forward this message to them. Thanks, Jim.

I'll bet someone here has one. Getting them to part with it might be difficult. Heck, anything just being in that shot is going to cost WAY more than it's worth. Try posting something over on the TV section, you never know. Probably take some networking and time.

Very cool and I wish you the best of luck!
