A recent story on the BBC posed a question to its readers. If it ain't broke: You share your oldest working gadgets. Folks wrote in with their favorite, longest-lasting devices.
Besides being curious about the latest tech devices and advancements, I've noticed our community also seems to have a number of thrifty folk who thrive on getting the most out of their gadgets.
I'll count myself among those in that category. I'll start with a Sharp EL-510S solar-powered, scientific calculator from the early 1980s. I also have a JVC stereo receiver from the mid 1980s that is still going strong. The computer I am currently using is a Dell Latitude Core 2 Duo from about 2009.
So how well has your stuff held up? What was been your best acquisition for long-term durability?

Yeah,
I too have a HP 11C (with original manual) which works fine. I think it is from 1985
I also have a CASIO PB-110 Personal Computer with Data Bank that works well
Aristo Slide Rule (Model: Studiolog) Circa 1970 in mint condition
A Philips 2-Band Clock Radio (Model: D-3090) used daily
It is pleasure to use well made products which are well suited for their intended function ...
