   I'm buying old electrical products from 2nd hand stores now. I got an   
   old 1940's Kirby all metal vacuum which still runs great! Got several   
   old 1960's phones which work when the power goes out. Got an old   
   1950's sewing machine - all metal. Etc.   
      
   And I have the money to buy brand new. I have bought brand new and the   
   things don't last but a month sometimes! I'm fed up, so back to old   
   for me...
