We had an AEG washing machine in the early 70s. Used almost daily. It never broke down. The drum belt had to be replaced just once. Sold it after over two decades of servicing the family. Perhaps over-engineered, but certainly not engineered to meet a MTTF of a couple of years. Just saying...

My grandparents had a refrigerator that sat out in the laundry room for more than 50 years. On a good day it was probably 100 degrees in there and 100% humidity. The thing must have weighed a few hundred pounds. Steel door, steel cabinet. When you took a can of soda out of there it was so cold you burned your hands.

They don't make 'em like they used to. Not calculators and not grandparents.

Yep, that's what I'm talking about Smile

It ain't OVER 'till it's 2 PICK
