Reply to comment by DiBalls in My grandma owns a lot of machinery she really bought for life in the 50s/60s/70s... Some examples. by worldiscubik

Buy well, buy once! I love vintage kitchens, personally; in another 30-50 years some scholar will be praising the preservation and making a study of the design.

They really did make better stuff back then right? My 94 year old grandma has been using the same slicer since the late 50ies, and her phone from the 80ies is also working perfectly. Not to mention all the wooden furniture that is still rock solid.
