It's no surprise that not only have they survived but they still work
almost as well as new.



The problem is even when new, the old stuff did not work nearly as
well as any of the new stuff today. Kind of like a fool saying the
drum brakes and carburetor on his 65 Pontiac was better than the new
fancy dandy computer cars today.


Agreed, dependable/repairable/cheap is not the same as best performance.
People have personal preferences based on various not-shared criteria.

That said, after the Chinese run their high altitude EMP device, my
no-electronics cars will run and yours won't.


You have a crank on the front of that model A Andrew? Unless you mean
your bike and then I'm all in with that idea.
