Do you still own something that should have broken years ago, but still works?

The push lawn mower I bought right after I moved into my first house in 1993 finally bit the dust over the weekend. Bought it at the Ace hardware that was near the house, and actually pushed it home that day. I took good care of it, had to replace the carburetor a couple of times, and new plugs every couple of years, but no other real issues. I got my money's worth out of it and am sorry to see it go. Do you own anything that you have taken good care of and it is still going strong even though it should have pooped out a long time ago?

Emerson Electric - everything they made used to be solid, have no idea how they are now

I've got a 16 gallon Craftsman Shop Vac that I got in a bulk tool purchase in the early 80's, and it was a few years old by then and still works like a charm.

That thing has probably sucked up tons of wood shavings and sawdust, used in old houses after demo to clean between studs getting old plaster remnants and 100 yr. old dirt, and for sucking up untold gallons of water from flooded areas.

The only thing I do is keep a good filter in it.

Yes. Because I fall in love real easily and maybe unreasonably, my heart. At this point, about 28-37 times... and it keeps chugging along.

Nope.
All my shite is now broken with the recent death of my Sansui Receiver.

I have an Apple //e from 1983 with the original Apple monitor and dual 5.25" floppy diskette drives, and the original boxes for all of it. I am at least the 4th owner of this machine. It works perfectly. Has never been repaired.
