Funai Longevity

[AUdubon5425]

I'm curious - what's the longest running Funai set y'all have seen?

I'm asking this because I've stumbled upon a lot of fairly new yet broken Funai products in the last month.

My neighbor's Magnavox DVD/VCR combo died last week, just refused to power up again - it was 2 years old. Three days later I'm telling my brother about it, he has the exact same unit, and he presses the power button and nothing happens - that one was one year old. Both had seen limited use.

I was given a Magnavox 13" color TV with the DVD player, made Dec 2005, hadn't turned on in over a year. Couldn't get it to power on, fuse wasn't blown, just pitched it as it was filthy from sitting in a warehouse.

Now, my own Durabrand 27" set from 2005 is starting to get the bends in the picture.
