My DC05 purchased ~2004 is still going strong. I can't think of another device except my Sony amp that has lasted that long.

I have a VAX-2000 that my parents bought in like 1993, which I was handed down in 2004, and still runs strong in my workshop.

Ah, the DC05. A very fine machine. I also had one until last year.
