I have a circa-1950s Triplett Multimeter (used to measure electrical voltage, current, resistance, etc.). I'm pretty sure it belonged to my grandfather, who gave it to my father, and I took possession of it after my father passed away. It has outlasted every digital multimeter that my father and I have purchased to replace it (although my $4.99 multimeter from Harbor Freight Tools has not died yet...;-D...) http://cgi.ebay.com/Triplett-Model-630-A-Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter_W0QQitemZ150146585015

As best as I can remember it is an old 800 watt soldering iron. it must be 60 or 70 years old. It isn't really electronic though. I also have a SSB CB I purchased back in the mid 1970s. Also an electronic SLR camera also in the mid 1970s. I also have an 8mm movie camera that was battery operated from the 1960s.
