A Russian multimeter that I bought in the 1970's, and have used on and off ever since. It is now becoming useful again as it's transistor tester is good for Germanium transistors, which many of the modern ones are not. I remember dropping it some years back, which would have killed most meters, but it seems pretty bullet proof (also not many are supplied in steel cases either lol). Like many, I have old radio's in daily use too.
