I still regret getting rid of a waist high commercial ice cream freezer we had in the garage. Thought after all the kids left we wouldn't need it. Still miss it. We gave it to the yard man who had a lot of kids, and he said recently that it had finally conked out and had to take it to the dump.
DH had it when we married in 1967, and we gave it away in about the 1980s....no idea of how old it was. When it was made they sure didn't know or believe in planned obsolescence, which I view as cheating.
