My old iPod classic still works after 15 years, can't find a charger anywhere

I dug out my 2007 iPod classic from a box last week. Thing still holds a charge and has all my old playlists from college. But the 30-pin charger is dead and nobody sells them at Best Buy or Target anymore. I found one on Amazon for $12 but it took 3 weeks to ship. Anyone else still rocking ancient Apple stuff or am I the only one left?

Ngl I'm surprised yours even held a charge after that long. My sister's iPod from around that same time swelled up like a balloon and we had to get rid of it before it caught fire. Did you leave it plugged in for years or just keep it in a cool drawer?

Feel your pain on the charger hunt, I had the same panic when my old Nano finally needed a new cable. It's wild that something built so well can just become impossible to keep alive because of a simple cord. Hope that Amazon one works out for you, nothing beats having that old music collection intact.
