I have many old things at my place as I find difficult to part with them. In fact I get attached to them emotionally too! I have got a Sony Stereo Sound which I purchased in 1986. This is the same year when my son was born! The system is still working great and when I searched for this model of mine, I was pleasantly surprised to see that this model of mine is now a Vintage one! This is the picture of the Cassette Playing Deck I have which is still in wonderful condition! May I know what is the oldest gadget you have at your place which is in working condition?

@rakski yes if I am not wrong, they were all in the single unit , no? How big were the speakers? The speakers what I have got are of 30'' height! That is about 2 and1/2 feet !

@amitkokiladitya , The mechanics say that we should use the sets once in week or so , so that the PCB will not get damaged because of the humidity! I some times start the TV for a while and shut it off!

@allen0187 , That is nice to know the LED bulbs! Do they fit into the old light socket easily?

@AKRao24 it is still working. Had to change the light bulb to a LED. Otherwise, it still looks good.

I am really happy to know that you have got 50 years old stereo with you in working condition! I appreciate the stereo for being so wonderful! Is that a record player with a radio?

That’s awesome it still works. My oven is from the 40s. It still works but the cable broke so the door won’t stay up. I have a chair against it keeping it closed.
