Longevity in aviation in particular is fascinating. The Douglas DC3 aircraft for example is a more than 70 years old design and is still in use. If it works don’t fix it.

Or, rather: if it’s fixable, fix it, don’t throw it away.

Ham radio and SWL are similar. I was given a hand-me-down Swan transceiver which is 40 years old and couldn't believe my luck. To have a maintained and working 1950s or 1940s radio typically gets you fine results and some geek cred as well.
