I'm sure everyone has that old used equipment that you just can't part with for whatever reason.

I have an AC 110 that is used on and off for the past 10 years. Never thought about selling it. I use it in times when I need a backup, most recently used last year, but was probably sitting around for 4-6 years since it was last used.

What do you have?
 
I have an oceanclear canister i could never seem to toss out that I mounted to a skateboard as a sump vacuum haha
 
I have a bunch of old strip lights for various tank sizes.
 
I have a box of old gear i keep for memories sakes more than anything else...
 
I have a bunch of stuff kicking around that I can't part with. Will have to look. Love the AC filters. I have some I bet are pushing 20 years. Might even find an incandescent light strip...
 
I've had a top fin heater that is about 15 years old, works fine still. I gave it to a friend who was setting up a tank and he's still using it. It was actually a great heater.
 
5 or 6 hob filters that are mostly stripped into their components. a bunch of heaters that either barely work or dont at all. and best of all, a 260 gallon tenecor acrylic tank thats sitting out on my deck with the bottom panel mostly cut off.
 
I also have a 2.5g tank that I got over 11 years now. It just sits there, but it definitely a sentimental thing. That tank was the only thing I had during my internship away from home.

I've got my moms old air pump from like 1980 something in storage somewhere unless the ex tossed it. Last time I plugged it it still worked haha.

Is it one of those Penn Plax jobs?
