Oldest device you have that works?

I have a Pioneer laserdisc player from the late 1980's that still works like a champ, that's about it for me.

My Harmon Kardon HK505 Amp from 1978. It's packed up now, due to a basement renovation but it will come out again to provide some oomph! to an old iMac that I've dedicated to music.

I'll need to get some new speakers as the old ones are just too big...

I have an old metal electric drill made in the 40's I still use.

Every once in a while I get a shock from it

I can beat this...I have an old 40's or 50's electric Craftsman drill that I use as my main drill (I'm not super handy and it works). I looked it up on Ebay once and found out that people collect this particular drill...now that's sad. Even older, I have hand saws from my grandfather dating from the early 1900's that I have no problem using if necessary. I would be happy to provide pics and if anyone can beat that; I'd be surprised.

I have a couple of round bullet molds that are obviously 19th century. One is .36 and the other is .50. They sat in the "tool drawer" at my childhood home, everybody clueless to what they were. It wasn't until I got interested in black powder shooting that I realized what I had. I cast some lead balls and shot them. I've sold my replica BP guns but have kept these molds. Technically I don't use them any more.

I can provide pictures too.

I have an 18th century magnifying glass that I use occasionally...sad but true.

The old hand saws I actually use on a pretty frequent basis. I don't have any fancy tools (I think the most modern tool I own is a dremel which I bought specifically to help my kids build their pinewood derby cars when they were in cub scouts). The old Craftsman drill works like a charm. It is big bulky and needs to be plugged in but I only need it on a limited basis. I have actually seen the drill show up on Ebay as a collectors item but I still use it.
