The figure Paul gave as rule of thumb 25years is just that.

We allow all CRT TV's to be classed as "vintage" as well as all Video tape recorders. This is pragmatic and seems to work.

We also get a lot of users try to classify "vintage looking" radios as vintage even though they are still in production. We try to weed those out and put them in Modern Technology. Maybe by around 2045 they will be "vintage"
