I have some (inexpensive Casio & Sharp) 1970s calculators
which still work perfectly.

A few years ago, my smallest Sony TV died, apparently due to
failure of the filament in its picture tube -- it was 30 years old.

The "Western Electric" brand telephone my family was using
on the day I was born would probably also still work,
if I hadn't lost it :)

It's lucky for me that I was also manufactured way back then :)
