TIL a lesson about old parts from a retired repairman at a swap meet in Spokane

He held up a 20 year old dryer motor and said, 'This one's got a copper winding, son, they don't make 'em like this anymore,' and it made me start checking the date codes on every part I pull out now.

It's wild how much quality has slipped. My grandpa's old tools still work better than half the stuff you buy new today.

Check the date codes, older is usually better.
