That’s Prince B/W US NTSC-M CRT TV with 220V AC output in the Philippines.

[@ElectronicInspiration]

My set has some contrast distortions depending on how much white or black is on a particular horizontal line
Maybe the capacitors are dying

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

That analog TV can work with PAL and sound B/G in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Liberia, Nigeria,

[@RoyAntaw]

Also did work in Australia before transition to Digital TV. The AM/FM radio still works and the composite video is useful for vintage gaming.

I also have this model

[@jesseward3121]

Hello friend, lovely video. What year did this model come out?

[@RoyAntaw]

I'm not sure but mine has a Date Code of 4303 which I guess is the 43 week of 2003. I'm surprised that this model was still in production at this time, near the end of B/W CRT Analogue TV production probably?

[@jesseward3121]

@@RoyAntaw such a strange thing! I feel like the packaging is very early 2000's. But then it's black and white. The 90's and 00's were a lawless wasteland for electronics.

[@shivakanakabandi5475]

Sir,in this TV model there is an phone option no what's is that

[@RoyAntaw]

No phone option on this model but that would have been very neat, also TV/Phone/Clock would have been very cool too? This model has analogue TV and AM/FM Radio which also support video/audio In and headphone out.
