How long do you or should you keep your gear.

I still have this (an X-mas gift when I was 4 years old).

My father used to borrow it, when the power was out, to check weather alerts during rain/snow storms.

It was eventually superseded when my sister got her first battery powered transistor radio.

To each their own. One of those topics that people do not need some guy on the internet to tell them what they should do.  It's a very trivial thing on the grand scale of things after all, eh?

@mapman thanks for sharing.

Merry Christmas.

Have a peek at my 3 systems shown here. I love keeping Vintage both active and performing at their best. Spare parts acquired, newer stuff for convenient features primarily. Still listening to the speaker drivers made in 1958 that got me hooked in 1973 in custom enclosures.

I'm also Mr. Fixit (mechanical stuff only, not electronics). That helps with Vintage.

@elliottbnewcombjr very cool. You like to tinker with your gear.

Nice.
