Your longest, continuously running audio electronics?

This rack of SAE gear from the 80's, that I use in my office, has played on average 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for the past 12 years.

I have a Harmon Kardon integrated amp, bought new in, I think, 1972, 73? It powered a few sets of speakers for many years, then was pressed into service as a headphone amp, then was finally retired a couple of years ago, though I still have it. It has been to service a couple of times, but just cleaning and a couple of caps.

In my case a McIntosh MA6100 integrated, I used it for several years and since 1990 serving daily at my mother's studio (from whom I inherited the taste for music listening).
