Any electrical gadgets that have stood the test of time.

I still have my Mum's electric carving knife from the 1970's.

Sadly not. But I'm hoping my extensive collection of power tools acquired during the "age of lockdowns" will be building furniture for my grandkids in 30 years!

We have a picture projector from the 1970s. The pictures are on slides. The projector gives off so much heat when it's on, it wouldn't pass electrical regulations now!

I have an angle grinder that I was given as a 21st birthday present, 32 years ago coming up, that’s still going strong after years of hard use. My pillar drill in the workshop has a 1960s motor on it and that’s still going too. Probably my oldest bit of working electrical kit is a hefty wall mounted battery charger made in the mid 1930s.

I have, and still use, an original 8gb Apple iPod touch. Not exactly sure when I got it but think it was around 2007 or 8. Not old compared to some stuff but it is for these sort of electronics.

Also have, and still use, a Black & Decker hammer drill that must be 30 years old now.

Aaaah the classic computer of my school years, apparently it was good for time traveling talk too, you can Google that spookyish tale.

I've still got a minidisc lying around and plenty of old cameras.
