I sometimes enjoy "pushing" this type of subjective term. Basically, to me, anything that is from early in the life of that type of item is "vintage", (or even "antique", if you want to have fun and/or annoy some people!).

So, I have no problem calling my 2000 digital-TV tuner a "vintage" model. I also have an antique 1970s hand-held calculator, if I remember right. But, no 1980s TV set could be called "vintage". My 1970s VCRs are definitely vintage machines.
