Know of any true bullet proof equipment stories?

My buddy was just telling me about his Mcintosh MC275 he has that he scored after it had been in a fire and thrown out of a second story window.

To quote him "Its ugly as hell, But it still works pretty good"

I figured I'd see what other stories yall had

"Any speaker made out Kevlar!"

OK, if you want go there. The original Cerious Technologies speakers were made out of ballistic ceramic with a carbon fiber wrap. I believe the wrap was kevlar or a close relative.

A curious toddler can do crush tests on any bullet-prof equipment and yes I'd doubt if it would work after LOL!

I have a NAD 5000 cd player bought new in 1991 if memory serves me correctly. It served well for years in my main system. I then put it in a dusty, humid garage/work shop for 5 years or so. It now serves duty in a secondary system in the family room while I work from home. I dusted off the old cd player snd it's still playing without missing a note. Not too bad for a 20 year player with countless hours of playing time.
