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.

I don't have it anymore (sadly), but for a while I owned a Hitachi TX200 projector.

All of the fans were standard PC fans and easily replaceable. The polarization filters came on little extra modules, you could take them out, replace them and realign them easily. The service menu had an option to shift the pixels for each individual LCD to counteract for pixel-drift and you were also able to calibrate the colors for multiple zones. It's a great projector and can run for many years with a few replacement parts.

Sadly, it was only 720p and Hitachi never made a higher-resolution model. :(
