Whats your oldest working electrical appliance?

Somewhere ...I've got the first Mario Bros game /watch combo .... It's in a little folding case which opens out to show a conveyor belt type of game played over both sides with Mario loading parcels on one side and his brother unloading them on the other or something like that ....I think it's about 30 odd year sold

Cheating a bit here cause it belongs to my mum but I'm sure she won't mind me mentioning her 1965 Coffee Perculator.....yes the one shaped like a ceramic jug with the glass lid on the top....I re-wired it a few years ago and still makes lovely coffee through its permanent stainless steel filter.

I've got an old mixer that I inherited from my grandparents when they went in homes. It looks like something you'd find in the Fallout games, but it mixes by Yorkshire pudding batter well enough. The noise it makes is incredibly loud, something that loud would never get through all the EU laws now, seriously, it's like someone revving a 2 stroke engine.

The Samsung microwave oven at home has been in use since 1985. Never had any problem with it. My parents say it's better than any of the new microwaves they've bought since giving it away to me.

I blew up a Kenwood blender by using it to do mash the other week. It was my nana's and must be a 1970's model.

My mum has her Kenwood food mixer still. No idea if it still is used, and it's a 60's model.

I have a corded (and therefor unused pretty much unless drilling holes in Victorian engineer's brick) Bosch drill from 1986. And a D/W that has done a daily wash for the last 12 years, which is going some. I notice that no-one has an old auto washer, not that surprising, really as they only live 5 years. They're built that way deliberately and it's a crime.

My LG has a 10 year guarantee on the direct drive motor but it cost an arm and a leg.

Oh but there's an LED watch from I think the late 70's. Needs a battery. Very retro.

A Pye valve radio from the late 50s. Many ghettoblasters from the 80s. An old 1970s early CB radio set 23 channel AM (Cobra).

That remind me: I also have my first CB radio which is a two channel (Ch14 & Ch30) Alba handheld with a telescopic antenna
