Japanese consumer goods from the late 70s to the early 90’s were unbelievable quality. I was rebuilding an old Teac cassette deck recently and it may as well have been a mil-spec laboratory quantisation apparatus.
I have a 1980's Sony Trinitron that I use for my old consoles. ...And like those old consoles - also made in Japan - it's basically still good as new.
Thing is near 40 years old still going strong. Still has the old "It's a Sony" sticker on the side of it.
