Greetings from El Norte!
I would be curious to know if you see many vintage Philips or other european brands of televisions in Brazil. When I was visiting Peru in '82, I viewed on a 12" Philips portable. A restaurant owner was so happy to see me (my money) he broght it out and plugged it in for me to watch. It was a blast from the past, since mostly what I saw was a cute little
Please Stand By card, with a cute little cameraman waving and peering out from behind an old TV camera. When
PanTel finally got back up, I got to watch
Los Angeles de Charlie 
(dubbed en Espanol) while otherwise enjoying my dinner.
Wherever I was shopping, there were nothing but Japanese sets, even though there was a giant neon sign with Philips on it in Lima...I was shocked to see, while visiting Sears, there wasn't a single Silvertone to be seen!
Nothing but Japanese brands
