For me its the old fans and vacuum cleaners. Over 40/years old each and still going strong. Clear labeling inside and have been fixed up multiple times.

Guitars. I have more than enough, but I still cant resist a good deal on a dirty, old, neglected vintage guitar. Clean it up, fix up any problems, re-string it, play it for a while, and sell it. But if it's better than something I've already got, then I'll keep it and sell the old one.

I'm slowly building and improving my stable, without spending much money at all. It means my guitars probably won't say Martin, or Taylor, or Gibson, or Fender, but they'll all be excellent guitars anyway.

I'm also good with dryers. There isn't anything on a dryer I can't fix. They can almost be a Ship of Theseus situation.
