they are also getting more and more pricey here in italy as they're considered a modern design icon.

Brionvega TVs are nothing special technically wise, their portables can be a pain to service, and their larger 70s-80s color sets actually gave lots of troubles

other Italian manufacturers like Magnadyne, Philco or Phonola actually made better sets, and sometimes made some really cool plastic portables, but they just don't have that name slapped on them so no one wants them now, but IMHO the coolest plastic portable set of all times is the barrel-shaped Philco from the early 70s
