For me its the old fans and vacuum cleaners. Over 40/years old each and still going strong. Clear labeling inside and have been fixed up multiple times.

Most repairable thing I have is probably my truck. It was made in 2007, before they started to take away user serviceability.

Oh also I have a bunch of old computers that are very repairable. I mean, I would need the right components, and I can’t make those myself, but if I could source the components, they’re really easy to repair. Probably the hardest thing to repair would be the sheet metal.

    Same here, my daily driver is 35 years old. Anything that breaks just gets replaced and the original manufacturer still sells a lot of new parts. It should've been scrapped years ago but I saw keeping it running as a challenge. It's in pretty decent shape by now actually.
