For me its the old fans and vacuum cleaners. Over 40/years old each and still going strong. Clear labeling inside and have been fixed up multiple times.

Same here, my daily driver is 35 years old. Anything that breaks just gets replaced and the original manufacturer still sells a lot of new parts. It should've been scrapped years ago but I saw keeping it running as a challenge. It's in pretty decent shape by now actually.
