Oldest electronic technology you still use?

[HLaB]

I think my TV is the oldest piece of electronic kit I've got. I bought it when I moved down here in 2012.

My laptop is from 2012 and used daily. The car is a close second, again used daily, and from 2013.

Up until a couple of years ago I was still using my dad's old Amp and speakers, bought new in 1984. I still have it but sadly don't have room for it anymore. I'm hoping to leave it to my son

Got it from my aunt on my 18th birthday, so almost 42 years old - still used every single day. This is one reason I buy Sony equipment, all other things being equal

I think it's a Grundig Yacht Boy 207, multi band LW/MW/SW/FM portable receiver, it seems to last forever on a set of AA batteries. I still use it most mornings to listen to the radio when I get ready for work. It was made sometime around 1995, and works well enough even though it's 30 years old.

An old Fuji Finepix Z900EXR and its utterly battered with a huge amount of paint missing. The flash is not working perfectly for indoor shots, occasionally you have to repeat the image if doing them for ebay but outside its fine.

I've got a radio/cassette/CD player from the early 90s. I'm listening to it at the moment.

Just sold my 22 year old car... loved it.

A SW/MW/FM pocket radio that I bought when I went to Austria in the mid 1980s, use it to listen to radio 3, 4 or Scotland when I'm in the shed or garden.

This clock which dates back to the late 1980s

Sold as a 'Magic Wand Clock' using 7 LEDs on a wand and persistence of vision (apparently) to show the time and short programmable messages (I set "Merry Christmas My Arse" to display for the appropriate week in December many years ago and now don't kow how to cancel it).

Mrs D's Volvo C70 is of 2005 vintage, still comes out in the summer.

Texus calculator I dug out of a client compost heap, washed in a bucket of water with a big scrubbing brush, dried out in the green house and it was working by the end of the day. 1982.

I still use the wheel, invented about 4000 years BC.

An electronic one, amazing !

You've had an electric car since then 😲 The electronic starter motor in mine dates from 2008 (the car was nearly 4 years old when I bought it), the car though I would never class as my "Oldest electronic technology" as its petrol.
