My parents had a fridge that they purchased late 1940s was still working mid 1990s was only replaced as it was bright red and did not match the new kitchen so was given to a family member and carried on working for a couple of years I until they had enough money to buy a new one at which point it went to the tip but as far as I knew still in a working condition

[Official Old Man]

As an old grumpy I have loads of classic electrical items.
Original microwave. Massive beast must be 34 years old.
Alarm clock radio, 38 years old. Was ditched in favour of a DAB unit but it didn't work so back came the antique.
Up until last week my surround sound was a 10 year old unit that had a hard drive to record TV progs but of course it was analogue so useless.

I have a 1963 Selmer valve powered guitar amplifier, works perfectly.
I also have a late 1950's milling machine and a Colchester student Lathe, still going strong.
