Is there any appliance that lasts longer than a dryer? I swear, the

"New drum, 2-20-70."

I think the only thing I've ever replaced on it was an ignitor.

Not much to go wrong in them, really. Our fridge is 1973, and our stove a
similar vintage. Not much to go wrong in them, either.

Shame everyone tries to put as many features into modern stuff as possible
- usually compromising longevity in the process. That's progress for you,
I guess... :-)
