I am proud of it, more modern office calculators at our work have had the numbers wear out leaving blank buttons.

I have both of those.

I also have "as new" Sharp & Sony casette Walkman's too...........I don't like digital stuff and the availability of everything NOW and as far as I am concerned radios and hi-fi stopped looking good when "Solid State" ceased to be a selling phrase.
