Notes
Internally, this TV is identical to the KV-1971R. The only difference between them is that the 1971R has a wood laminate outer case, while the 1970R is all plastic. Both TVs have a simulated woodgrain finish.
This model shares several components with the PVM-1910, including the tube and H-Stat block.
This TV uses a hot chassis design.
This CRT is confirmed to be a hot chassis.
Hot Chassis means that "ground" on the chassis is tied to one side of the AC input from the wall, and touching it with your hand will complete a live circuit through your body to earth ground if the CRT is plugged into an AC outlet. The proper way to avoid this danger is to use an isolation transformer to isolate the CRT from earth ground and prevent electrocuting yourself.
