Default dryer longevity

Is there any appliance that lasts longer than a dryer? I swear, the
dryer my parents had was almost pre-Columbian. Now I open up mine to
replace the belt (it's starting to squeal) and what do I find scrawled
on the front of the drum in pencil?

"New drum, 2-20-70."

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


Dialog I heard on the radio:

"Why can't they make cars as dependable as a refrigerator (dryer, drill,
etc.)?

"Well, one reason is that your refrigerator doesn't go down the freeway at
fifty miles per hour!"

"Neither does my car. That's why I was asking the question."
