The longest you have owned any gear?

Not counting accessories such as a Zerostat which I bought eons ago, the one piece of equipment I own which I've had the longest is my turntable- 19 years now.

What's been your experience?

I wonder, how many more years can electronics in my Nak682ZX deck last? It was made 36 years ago, all original except capacitors. It is serviced and calibrated every few years.

I can see that some people still buy Studers on ebay, for about $4k, but don't buy them for over $5k. I don't get it. When it comes to Studer and considering that $4k is already no pocket change, I would be prepared to pay extra $1k if I saw a good reason.
