What is the oldest item you own that you actively use DAILY?

[amdhunter]

Soundblaster Audigy PCI. Great card that has given me years of good service.

 

[JEDIYoda]

In use a Sunbeam Electric Razor 1953....

Houses and body parts aside, the oldest thing I use everyday is a pair of Boston Acoustic A150s from 1984. I rebuilt the woofers a few years ago.

I have some A70's that I got for free a couple months ago, I re-foamed them and currently trying to fix one of the tweeters. I bet those a150's sound really nice, I've heard the A400's are amazing.

I live in a home built in 1952
Outside of that, I don't know, probably my truck from 2002. I have several old items but that is the only one on a "Daily" basis I guess.

 

[Loop2kil]

Not so much daily but I have my grandfather's 100' manual wound tape measure that I use anytime I need to measure something.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Well, I'm pretty sure my parents would be fine with me keeping my mattress, which is older than I am.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

I have a couple of hand tools that I got from my dad. He probably bought them in that's '70s. I don't use them every day though, probably monthly.

 

[Ferzerp]

I have a coffee table made out of an old wrought iron TV stand that my parents had before I was born. It got turned in to a coffee table 20-ish years ago.

Speaking of which, it needs repainted, it's started to flake where someone changed the color of it without sanding it.

 

[Kadarin]

I have some old Altec Lansing speakers from the '90s that I'm using here. The left one, however, just gave out recently so I'm going to at some point have to buy new ones. I liked these because they have 2 inputs.

 

[bigrash]

My wife.

lol

 

[ManyBeers]

my wallet

 

[Cobalt]

My Logitech media keyboard. Been through several PCs and I've tried to replace it with various different gaming keyboards and always go back to it. I bought it in like '02 or '03

 

[Imp]

Speakers from 2008 with receiver and sub. The sub sucks because I can only put it in the center of the room adn it's not that audible.

 

[rh71]

still using the PC speakers that I got free from Microcenter as part of an etrade promo... when etrade was new and getting big.

 

[GoSharks]

IBM Model M, May 1987. My family is the original owner.

 

[mmntech]

Probably the KOSS bookshelf speakers I have up in my mancave. They date back the late 80s or early 90s. KOSS doesn't even make speakers anymore.

 

[grrl]

I have some A70's that I got for free a couple months ago, I re-foamed them and currently trying to fix one of the tweeters. I bet those a150's sound really nice, I've heard the A400's are amazing.

The 150s are still very nice sounding speakers. I've never heard the 400s though.

If you are looking to replace the tweeter you should be able to buy one directly from BA:

Daily? Probably my garage door opener. I'm assuming that it's from 1988, when my condo was built.

My AR surround sound speakers are probably even older, but I have no idea how old they are.

 

[Jeff7]

Hm. Maybe my Logitech Z-640 speakers. Those things have got to be at least 9 years old now.

Or maybe one of my alarm clocks.

- Computer case. It gets "used" daily, more or less....hm, looks like it's from 2004.

- Computer desk. Probably this. I bought this back when I bought a Pentium II was top-of-the-line.

 

[Raduque]

The subwoofer on my computer is powered by a stereo receiver from 1974. I listen to music all the time.

 

[mikeymikec]

My Kenwood hi-fi which serves as my computer's speakers through aux , bought with savings from my first job, in McDonalds, 1997. The LED display is a bit faded though. I'll be sad when it dies.

My cheapo Chicony PS/2 keyboard, bought in 1999. Occasionally I use some contact cleaner spray to clean it up, apart from that, some of the letters are showing subtle signs of wear. I wonder how many words I've typed on it.

People are mentioning desks. My parents gave me my computer desk. It might be as old as I am, not sure.

 

[AreaCode707]

I started my AT account in 2001....

I seriously started thinking about it and that is probably the oldest item I have that gets daily use. I've got a t-shirt from 1984 I still wear occasionally but it doesn't fit the "daily" criteria.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

My computer desk is from 1984 or so and I've got other furniture even older than that. Non-furniture my leather jacket dates to around 1990 or so and it just gets better every year.

 

[mnewsham]

When I am at work I use a date stamp from the teens or '20s

 

[Squisher]

My computer desk. I'm guessing 1900. I got it back in the early 70s when the old City-County Building closed down. Paid $5. They brought it out of the building on one of those sidewalk elevators that you see in the old movies. I refinished it back then, but I really should have done more to preserve it, but hey what did I know I was only like 16 years old.
