It's either my alarm clock or 5.1 speakers, both of which would be somewhere over 20 years old.

Technically speaking, it's the 2TB platter drive full of games that I've pulled from computer to computer over the last 15 years or so. Everything else has failed or become obsolete, but it's still kicking, miraculously.

My fat PS3. Still a good Blu Ray and DVD player.
the oldest is one of my portable cassette recorders, a very early GE model that is in near perfect condition. It's so early on it doesn't have much info online, and seems to be rare, but unwanted.
The one im the most proud of is my IBM LexMark model M keyboard, It's older than me, abused to hell, modified, and is still my daily driver because it's so comfortable
Within reach on my desk, Unisonic LC-384 Dual Power Solar and Battery Backup Pocket Calculator - I've not owned it the whole time, so I looked around and see it was produced on or around 1982. It works just fine.
It has a minimal listing in the Calcuseum (http://www.calcuseum.com/SCRAPBOOK/BONUS/32532/1.htm)
I have a Sony M2 Micro card with inside it's USB adapter.
I've used it to install countless Linux distros since 2007 ๐

Twenty- seven year old wireless keyboard. I love it. Feels great and never fails me. Don't know what I'll do when it finally dies.
I got an Apple IIc. Drive, monitor, keyboard all work.
I have an early 70s waffle/sandwhich maker eletric grill. Was a wedding gift to my parents and i grew up eating food off of it. Works flawlessly. But its just coils hooked to 120v with a regulator. Not much to break
A 1930's Remington mechanical typewriter. My dad used it regularly until he passed away, it still works perfectly and I've got a whole box of ribbons for it.
I have a Vendomatic sewing machine form the late '70s or early '80s. Still works like a charm. I still use it a couple of times per year to make/fix clothes or sew badges on my heavy metal jacket
