What's wild is this TV was not mass produced, which added to the cost, plus the shipping costs. Not only did he get the TV but he got the premium model too, I think Sony intentionally gave the restaurant that model so they could take some marketing photos, and sure enough, that was it.

Sony didn’t give it to the restaurant; instead the restaurant purchased it during Japan’s economic boom.

I didn’t catch that in the video? The part about marketing photos in the restaurant?
