So the distributor of KTC told me I can keep that 32″ LCD TV (see it here) that they lent over the holidays so I decided to give it away to one of my readers instead.

We’ll make the mechanics really, really easy. Just answer this simple question — what’s your oldest TV at home and when did you get it?

Just hit the comments section with your answer (e.g. I have a 32″ Samsung LCD TV I bought in 2006 for like Php69,000). You can only answer once (or your first entry is your only valid entry).

We’ll pick the winner in random by end of February, midnight (2/28/11). Here’s the clincher — the winner should be able to bring a photo of their TV (the one they mentioned in the comments) when they claim their prize. Prize will be picked up in my house here in Makati.

That’s it! Keep the comments rolling. :)

I really don’t know the price because my Dad bought it before I was born.

JunAlquis · 15 years ago

our oldest T.V would be a panasonic sophia panablack 21″ bought on for the life of me I can’t remember cuz I was too young but probably late 90’s or early 2000’s I’m not sure.

Jonha | IJustDid.org · 15 years ago

Well it’s not really the oldest but it’s the only TV that we have. Ever. I’m not here for a sob story but true story, it’s the first ever TV that me and mom have invested on and oh boy, she was so happy!

All my life we would go to our neighbor at always “makipanood” and it means the world to my mom when we finally out our own.

It’s a *14″ Astron TV* which we bought 2 years ago. You’ve got to dance with the antenna so that you’d see it clearer but it’s fun anyway! The price was around Php4,500 I think.

I hope we’d see a brighter TOMORROW by winning this one! haha

thebluepunkin · 15 years ago

Our oldest TV set was from our lolo and lola’s era (lol) which is a very very veery ancient Samsung TV (with the old Samsung logo).

Not really sure on when it was bought or how much but it was most likely between the 70s to the early 90s. It’s really antique because you still have to use a dialer knob to turn it to a different channel and hear the cracking-turning noise. It’s color black and the screen is somewhat green when turned off and black and white when turned on (or so i remember).

It’s old and dusty but still part of the family.

Ernesto Suga Jr. · 15 years ago
