I know how you feel too. My Apple II's are among the oldest "machines"
I own that still work.
My //e was bought used in the summer of 1988, so I'm approaching my 20-
year anniversary too, but it was made a few years earlier - it's old
enough to drink now. It still works like a charm (knocks on wood).
Congratulations!
(For those who are nosy: the oldest working machine I have is 60 years
old this year, being made in 1948. I acquired it last march, and I've
used it for at least 10 minutes every day since then. It gets a little
dirty with each use, so it gets a thorough cleaning once a month, and
it looks like new until I use it again the next day. What is it? A
Gillette Super Speed double-edge razor, which is also one of my most
prized possessions and cost me only $20 or so. Obviously, it gets new
blades every week.)
