This Hitachi TV appears to me made from the late 70s, one of the last ones to be Made in Japan. I grab it. My mom bought her first TV, which is a 1980 Hitachi 19" TV, and it was Made in USA. Reliability was just so-so. It needed repair every seven years, and it was finally junked out in 1995 and replaced to a 2000 Funai-made Philips-Magnavox 19" TV.

By the way, this Funai Magnavox TV actually has already outlasted the Hitachi. It's now 7 years old and still trouble-free. Sounds like to me that old TVs sometimes are not better.
