Cue the Little Rascals theme music. I remember a time when not everything sold was an overpriced disposable with a useful life of eighteen months or less. Did companies still make things that were cheap junk? Absolutely. The difference then was that there were more noticeable gradations of quality. User experience, the product’s general durability and support improved as you went up the ladder and spent a bit more. Those days are gone and have been gone for a while now.
Loved the Buddy Rich comment. Wonder how many had to Google his name? We are such a disposal society, and retailers/manufacturers are taking advantage of that fact. And our “old” junk is piling up in landfills, along side country roads, etc. Also, I have a self-winding Seiko that’s 52 years old. My granny bought it for me when I was 9. And it keeps time much like Buddy did!
