Default What vintage equipment did you actually use today?

I wonder how much of our vintage sets actually gets used. I use my Philips Music Maid as an alarm timer as one of the valve sockets is very unreliable. It switched on a Marconi 557 as the actual alarm.

I later listened to the Today Programme on my lovely Murphy A46 (the only set SWMBO allows into the living room). I played some children's 78s (Teddy Bears' Picnic etc) to my 1 year old granddaughter on my C&S GP7 record player followed by a cd using the microphone input of the same player. My granddaughter is so used to the 78s that she points to them and starts to "dance" before I have even got one out of its sleeve!

Does anyone else use their vintage sets on a daily basis?
