I regularly play Victrolas from as far back as 1902. my house itself was built in 1900. the HVAC for half my house was manufactured in 1987. the toilet in my downstairs bathroom was manufactured in 1927. the wiring in my house is old knob and tube from the 1930s. some of the switches are also from around that era. other wiring is from the 1950s. the doors and doorknobs are from 1900, though it seems I am the first to perform any maintenance on them in over 100 years. I have an original NES set up in my office from 1987 that I or my kids play one of my refrigerators was manufactured in 1997 the list is endless.
