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?

Sorry. 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. 
No open reel decks, unless I missed it..
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.
Walker, Jadis, Avalon must be a great system. I presume power amps are also Jadis. Something I would want to hear. 

Forgot to mention 18 years old CEC TL5100Z belt drive cd player. Had to change the belt after 3000 hours.
Michael Green Audio free resonance speakers - 18 years.
Nakamichi 682ZX cassette deck - 18 years.
JVC SuperVHS - 22 years.
