Twenty- seven year old wireless keyboard. I love it. Feels great and never fails me. Don't know what I'll do when it finally dies.

I have an early 70s waffle/sandwhich maker eletric grill. Was a wedding gift to my parents and i grew up eating food off of it. Works flawlessly. But its just coils hooked to 120v with a regulator. Not much to break

My fat PS3. Still a good Blu Ray and DVD player.

Probably the 20-year-old microwave.

Technically speaking, it's the 2TB platter drive full of games that I've pulled from computer to computer over the last 15 years or so. Everything else has failed or become obsolete, but it's still kicking, miraculously.

It's either my alarm clock or 5.1 speakers, both of which would be somewhere over 20 years old.

Nokia N73 counts?

I think my PS3 still works, although I haven't used it in awhile.

I got an Apple IIc. Drive, monitor, keyboard all work.

A 1930's Remington mechanical typewriter. My dad used it regularly until he passed away, it still works perfectly and I've got a whole box of ribbons for it.

14 year old Wacom Tablet. It still gets regular use.

I have some railroad stock certificates from the late 19th century that I need to frame. They're a few bucks on ebay and really freaking cool

In terms of electronics, I have some model trains from the 60s and 70s that are pretty worthless but keep going despite the abuse and lack of maintenance thanks to electric motors being so simple and easy to maintain. Other than that it's probably a shoe in between my wife's N64, PS2 and CRT TV, an old police scanner I got off ebay, or the early plasma TV that I got from my parents who got it from my aunt who got it with their house.

I have a 600w ham radio amplifier from the 60s. It's a Heathkit SB-200

I'm very proud of it because I bought it in rough condition, and repaired it myself. Replaced all the leaky capacitors and did some other work in there. Now it runs like a dream! It was my first time working with tube gear. The voltages in these things is 2500 volts, that'll kill you dead before you know what happened.

I also have an SB-220 that I got broken. I fixed it up but didn't do a full rebuild on it. It'll do 1200 watts, but I don't need that much power so I haven't used it much. It's in storage. That one is from the late 60s early 70s.

My next oldest device is also ham radio gear, a Kenwood TS-530S from the 80s. There's a lot of solid state stuff inside, plenty of transistors doing all the work. But the final output stage is still a good ole pair of tubes. I bought this in non working condition, and fixed it myself as well. Good fun!
