A rare 45-inch CRT TV, the Sony KX-45ED1, was rescued from an Osaka restaurant just before its demolition. This model, sought after by retro gamers, is known for its authentic gaming experience but is extremely rare. Shank Mods, a retro gaming enthusiast, led the effort to save the TV after learning about it from a blog post. He reached out for local help, and game developer Bebe Tinari confirmed the TV was still functional. The rescue highlights the ongoing interest in vintage gaming technology. The PVM-4300, once sold for $40,000 in the 1980s, remains a coveted item among collectors.
