Oldest customer TV this year.

[dr.ido]

Today a customer brought in a 26" Philips K11. The wide console on short legs with twin speakers and the 8 channel touch sensitive tuner. From memory these sets were actually assembled locally, but the labels on the back were long gone so I can't be sure. I think this was a late 70s model from the upper end of the range at the time. This is the oldest TV I've repaired for a normal customer this year (probably the last 3 years actually). It was a bit rough, the CRT is getting a bit weak and in an ideal world I would have touched up some other minor issues, but there's only so far you can go for so little money (As it is I did more than was probably economical). It will probably still be working when he eventually decides to get rid of it (though if the CRT keeps going downhill it may not be watchable). He does want to get a DVD player soon so I may end up taking it as a trade in. I may even find a CRT for it in the graveyard.

It got me thinking. For those of you who still do repairs what's the oldest set a non-collector has brought in for repair?
