sentamental? Can't Post

Do you get sentamental about your cameras or any other gear?
I am hell on cameras and have succesfully burried an Avid Symphony in my day. That said, I still have my first camera, a Quazar VHS camera from 1984. I still have it's replacement too... a lil Sony 8mm handicam. And I've repaired and replaced parts on my current FX-1 far beyond it's current dollar value because I feel it's a part of me. We've bonded, so to speak. lol
Are any of you the same way with any pieve of video equipment?

still got my one of the first off the line XL1s's which was my first camera in college. Actually used it in the little brothers wedding back in august. I had to run it on AC power, but it did the trick. I will probably keep my HVX-200's in the same way. You never know when you can find a use for something.

My old quazar's tube has been burned and reburned so many times, it offers a very cool smear when panning now. It's not soemthing I can recreate in post, exactly. To this day, I'll sometimes plug it in just for that ghostly effect, especially when shooting paranormal stuff.
