Start a pile with your smoke detector! You might want to do a more thorough check around!!
Dang - pretty darn good for something electronic!! I'm trying to think of anything that I even own that is that old...
34 years devices, I hope you start with All NEW SMOKES.
I had a Ctec go bad after only 6 years.
My wife has something much older.

Hope she doesn't throw me out because I'm older than the Use By date
I was so excited by the spiffy electrical socket on my '86 K75, the charger was my first farkle for that bike.
Those crazy days when I was 26 and only spent money on my motorcycle....
In 1966 I owned a Simca, a French car for which parts were few and far between. And as a fresh recruit in the Air Force I certainly couldn't afford to get a new generator from France. It was a two mile or so drive from our apartment to the Air Force radar site where I was stationed.
So lacking a charging system in the car I went to Sears and bought a 6 amp battery charger and mounted it under the hood on the firewall. I would drive to work, and later home again. Then I would plug in the charger over night. Repeat every day for about 6 months until I sold the car as-is. Until last year that charger was still working. It was in the garage at our son's house in Kansas and "mud dauber" wasps decided it was the perfect place to make a home. I found it 90% full of wasp-condo mud. After I cleaned it out as best I could it wouldn't work. Thus it died at 53 years of age. I do still have the 3 amp BMW charger I got back in the '80s.
I "borrowed" Dad's early 1970's Sears 10/2-amp charger when I took my first job out of college. On the rare occasion I need a 10A charger, it still works. It has a special spot, just above the motor oil in the cabinet.
What kind of oil?
Please forgive me I can't help myself.
My Battery Tender Plus is worse than dead I think, when you plug it in the red light starts flashing when you hook it to battery the light goes to solid red than it just keeps charging, it never goes green or the flashing green. I have two of the Battery Tender + chargers I can take the good one off a battery after it has gone to the green float mode put the other one it goes red and stays red on a charged battery. If I reverse process and take bad one off a charged battery, with light still red and put good one on the red light comes on for a short while than goes to green like it is supposed to.
I assume that the .75 amp (might be 1.25 amp ) charge can overcharge and damage a battery given enough time.
It would be much easier to toss it in the recycle pile if it did not work at All.
