Maybe I’ve been lucky then. The ones I have had are from the 1970s and still work. They’re also easy to repair, which in my opinion is part of making a product “buy it for life”.
I’m sure modern hub dynamos are better in lots of ways, but I don’t know if they’re repairable in fifty years.
No they haven’t. Those were always shit and are absolutely not suitable for modern traffic.
