What is the oldest item you own that you actively use DAILY?

[Zorander]

AKG K340. Not sure exactly when it was manufactured but would have been between 1975 to 1985.

My peenor...it's almost 60 years old...and it gets used several times per day.

Shens. Your prostate dictates more than several.

I have a speaker set I started when I was like 14? Started with the left and right, then bought the center then rear left and right. Took me maybe a year or so to complete? So yeah 14 year old Cerwin Vega speakers. Technically the receiver worked up until last year (a Sony) but I broke the power button by kicking it too hard (was turning it off with my toe) and half the remote stopped working.

But, the speakers & sub (sub came a few years later) are still kicking!

Until 2011 it was probably my 1996 Saturn.
The belt I wear every day has got to be from the late 90's also. Shows virtually no wear after all this time. I refuse to give it up.

yamaha pre-amp in my media room is probably 15 years old... sounds better than most new receivers, running a pair of diy powered studio monitors + diy subwoofer... i use to have a pioneer elite receiver using the same monitors as mains, and it sounds better with the old yamaha (and this room is really too small for 5.1/7.1 dont really miss it that much...mostly lisen to music anyway..

Probably my LIAN-LI V Cool PC-V1200 A-PLUS Silver EATX Aluminum Tower Case and my Dell 2407WFP Monitor. I bought both in 2006 and they both act and feel just as good as the day I bought them. I'm sure the monitor will die at some point, but I will probably be buried in that case.

I guess it would be my Ipad 1.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I bought the monitor I'm using right now around 1996.

My 1995 Toyota Celica GT. Just edges out my 1996 rear speakers.

Top of my head, I think the Altech Lansing 3 pcs computer speakers system (sub and 2 small speakers) is still working. The desktop radio/alarm with regular size phone (land line) combo is still working. Both of those are at least 10 years or older.

Edit: I checked and the speakers (they look just like the pic from Wyndru post below - about the same size with same color) were purchased in 2000 and the radio/phone combo was given to me in the mid 90's.

Spyderco clipit rescue knife, around 16 years old.

Like the OP, I, too, still use an old Boston Acoustics speaker set. Mine came with the first desktop I owned, a Gateway system back in 1998. While everything else was outdated or junk in a few years (heck, it wasn't a good system when I got it - too many BSODs, no dedicated graphics, either), the speaker set I still have as well as the keyboard. It's funny that basic systems back then were in the $1,500+ range, but the peripherals well outlasted the computers. No computer builders are going to throw in quality peripherals anymore when the average cheap desktop is $300 to $500. I still use the keyboard (PS/2 connector) with older computers that I repair. Not quite model M, but the keys are plenty clicky and it feels solid.

This speaker set isn't my main one, but I use it from time to time with either my laptop or a computer I'm setting up/testing. My Logitech Z-5300e set is at a friend's house right now, but the Boston Acoustics speakers are still pretty good quality. If you happen to see them for dirt cheap online or at a garage sale I'd still recommend them.

EDIT: I think I still have my 4GB hard drive from that computer. I don't regularly use it, though I did check if I had anything on it from 1999 a little while back. Damn nostalgia, now I want to play a game of Descent II, Comanche 2, or MechWarrior... 2. A lot of good action/simulation games from that era...

One of the chair in our living room that I sit in belonged to my mother's great grandmother.

Ignoring the house(1978), probably my car (1995).

 

[Wyndru]

Haha, I think mine is a speaker set too (also an old pair of Altec's). I got them in 1996 IIRC. It makes me wonder how these companies stay in business, it seems most buy 1 set and just use them for years.

 

[OVerLoRDI]

My car is from 1998.

My car is from 1995.

I have a pioneer stereo amp from the 70s that works great.

this flashlight thing that's not really a flashlight

Ive had my True upright Z7 stationary bike since 2006. I have ridden that thing for 14 miles a day, 7 days a week, since I bought it. Its held up well.

 

[Geosurface]

My monitor, a Dell 2707wfp from 2007 is still in faithful service and I still love it. Great monitor.

I guess my car has it beat though, being a 2005 model.

 

[vi edit]

My 12" cast iron skillet is a bit of a family heirloom and has been used since some time in the 1950's. It was a wedding gift of my grandmothers. It's not daily that I use it, but at least 3-4 times a week.

Electronic wise, I'm still rocking a Dell 2005 FPW from 2005. Good as new and still looks great.

I have an orange Tupperware drinking glass and a kids plastic plate that I've had forever and refuse to throw them away. My girlfriend thinks this is ridicule. It probably is.

That is a great monitor. Was my first big monitor purchase back in the day.
I gave it to my dad to use, the picture on that monitor is incredible, even still.

Yep! I think I bought it through a deal linked here actually. Plus I opened up one of those Dell DPA accounts to get an extra 3% off

I think I paid right around $200 for it almost 8 years ago. That has to be one of my better electronic purchases I've ever made.
