Wow a 6.5 year old thread I made.

I will say that the MBT 8 switch power center was replaced by a 10 switch Pro X power center that has a USB port in it. I also have an ADJ power center that sits in storage basically brand new in case I ever need it.

That Case Logic bag from 1989 finally bit the dust. No longer have it.

The Shure PGX Mic System is STILL IN USE! So it's going on 17 years old now. Although it sees less action today. I no longer use it for ceremonies. It just gets reception speech/toast action. It's been a work horse and will keep using it until it dies I guess.

I still have that Harper Cart Dolly. It just sits in storage. If anybody ever needs it for moving I would lend it to them. I would use it if one of my other carts break on me until I buy a new cart.

I now have a pair of speakers well over 10 years old to add to a current list. My Alto TS110A speakers from 2013. I very rarely use them, but they still work fine.

Surprised you're not getting cut outs like crazy with the pgx, in larger venues especially. In 2017 i had to switch all my mics to qlxd.

It's been nearly flawless in recent years. I had issues with it more in the past compared to the last few years. Next time I stop by my storage I'm going to check what band my unit is because I don't remember. I'm using all Phenyx Pro mics for my ceremonies and have been happy with them.
 
One old SM58 that occasionally gets used for karaoke. A dbx Driverack Go (also handy for Karaoke). An Epson projector from around 2013. An at least 20 year old M-audio padded backpack (designed for a small midi keyboard + laptop) that is built to last. Oh, almost forgot, RME and NI audio interfaces as a backup.
 
I have cable that are 20+ years old and still in good shape My Yamaha MS-400s (15" powered 2-way) are 20 years old and still sound great. My EV-ZX1s are over 10 years old and still in great shape. I have some wireless gear that is over 15 years old and still functional although no longer my go-to.

I think the better question is how much old crap are you still hanging onto for no good reason other than sentimentality. I have a lot of that. I have no problem giving away the old stuff but I am too lazy to sell it and I have a problem with putting products into a landfill that are still functional.
