Ahhhh… Tonka, the prime example of buy it for life toys. Found for $12 total at the Goodwill, bound to bring me years more enjoyment.
Not only has my 1985 Sharp VZ2000 survived the death of albums and cassettes, it now bears witness to their revival again nearly 40 years later. Yes, that’s an album, not a 45. These boomboxes are still highly collectible and there is a whole new aftermarket of repair parts to ensure their survival.Submitted by sparksofthetempest t3_11h5xcg

My first potato peeler (Sparschäler) I got this Sparschäler 10 years ago already used by my grand mother. It is still a mass product and you can buy it for round about 5 USD. But this one is made in West Germany so at least 33 years old and almost daily in use.Submitted by Secundus_Scipio t3_123nebi

My Grandmother’s oven, circa 1966. Many holiday meals were cooked with love here, right up until the day she passed. Aside from one shattered glass door that was replaced, everything still works!
