Guitars? 1976 Univox Ripper (heavily used and modified) Kent Americana, and a Buck Owens Telecaster played by my son. Not necessarily in that order.

Yea, the 58 Gibson and the 59 Ampeg were my father’s, the Barclay and the Harmony were my grandfathers (actually the tractor and the shopsmith we’re also his). The Gretsch kit I picked up in a junk shop and re built. I sold a ton of awesome stuff when I left Montreal (a 62 Les Paul standard and a 66 SG custom in Polaris white ... ugh!) but these here are all filed under “if you want them, check the obituary’s and bring a shovel”. Wouldn’t sell em for the world.

We had a lovely 1952 Ford 8N where I grew up. As far as I know it's still there being used. My dad and I restored it. I might try and buy it for my new place I just got with a shop...
I make my living playing music - so vintage instruments are the gold standard:
1953 Selmer Centered Tone clarinet
1966 Selmer Mark VI tenor sax
Most of my hand tools are 50 + years old from my dad.
Audio gear:
1918 Brunswick Ultona "All Phonographs in One" Gramaphone
1946 Zenith 6R087 radio record player
1959 Garrard 4HF turntable, with vintage GE VRII cartridge
My stereo system I consider new, but I realize it's from 1987... lol.
JVC RX550V SEA receiver
JVC disc player
JVC TD-V711BK 3 head cassette recorder
FOSTEX CR200 CD recorder
Dual 606 turntable with Ortophon cartridge
Cerwin Vega D3 speakers
Vintage telephones:
1930 Northern Electric desk phone with spitcup and ringer box
1950 Northern Electric 302 desktop phone
1963 Northern Electric 500 desktop phone
Everything hooked up and working...

i have the same disc player
pioneer dual cassette deck
optimus tuner
and realistic turntable with 8 track
I still use all this stuff nearly every day. I won't go into the list of gear that preceeded all that...
Needless to say, I generally prefer the old stuff, and will repair restore and rejuvinate to keep it going if required.
Quality, durability, craftsmanship...

I too have a 1987 vintage JVC disc player, just the slightly fancier XL-V450 vs. XL-V250. Still works perfect, and I couldn't tell you how many thousands of hours of use it's had so far. The quality of the audio equipment that was built in Japan is amazing. Once they moved production to Malaysia and China, the lifespan of the equipment dropped dramatically.
