< What's the oldest piece of technology you still use regularly?

Howdy ~fuka_eri, welcome to The Midnight!

Be sure to meet ~bartender (the most important person here, obviously) and Smudge (the most important bar cat, not so obviously).

~bartender? I shouldn't have coffee all day long, so maybe some lemonade? The watery version, with just a bit of lemon juice? Great!

The oldest piece of tech I use regularly is an Alfa Romeo 75 from 1991. And very occasionally I still use a Nikon F3 camera from maybe 1986. But film and processing have become quite expensive. I gave away my old turntable (from before 1986) recently, after I purchased a newer one --- second hand but still somewhat high priced. And I regularly use a (low tech, admittedly) tool box (ratchet, spanners, wrenches, whatever the correct words are) that I bought myself in 1983 (does this count as tech? No batteries involved? Not smart! :) Now that I think about it: the tabletop of my desk is from around the same time. It has passed all my tests of my time :-)
