The Matsui 1460/2060 had the A/V inputs disconected because they were live. Every set had to be modified, was phono socket input. The text 1480 did lack a bit of sparkle picture wise. The main problem with this 1420/1440/1480 range of Orion sets was the STR50103 reg ic. Replacing the reg/5.6 ohm 5w/SR2 diode was the cure. The ic failed due to poor heat sink compound. A small pot of blue type was supplied with each new ic. Very reliable sets, Malc.
