Phillip, yeah, i was thinking the same, I have radio's from the 80's that still work and a computer from the 90's that still works and turntables and synth's from the 70s/80s/90s that work fine.

At my family's summer camp we have a Frigidaire refrigerator made in 1950. Only seasonal use but it still works great!
