** Of course, Rusty ends up being the sidekick.
* In the ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' movie, a working item (which cures [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]) was in the museum, but it was put there to hide it in plain sight, because everyone believed it was broken beyond repair.
* In ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'', Batman has to use the 1940s-model Batmobile when Owlman steals the current model. It turns out that Batman keeps every vehicle gadget and device he's ever had in proper working order, even after it's long obsolete, just in case he needs to use this trope due to his being [[Crazy Prepared]].
* A recurrent theme in ''[[Batman Beyond]]'':
** Terry's batsuit was technically a museum piece in the Batcave, though he said, "This suit may be old, but it's still cutting-edge." He uses other artifacts from Batman's crimefighting days in the series as well. (e.g. Nightwing's domino mask for ID obfuscation when the suit was unavailable, along with some old-style Batarangs.)
** In "Blackout", Bruce took the freeze ray out of his [[Superhero Trophy Shelf|little crime museum]] to stop Inque, and wore the old Gray Ghost hat and mask to keep his identity hidden. In her second appearance, Terry tried the same, but she broke it; later, Bruce took a huge [[Powered Armor]] suit out of retirement to go hand-to-hand with her in a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]].
* In one episode of ''[[Captain Scarlet|Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet]]'', Captain Black was creating crop circles that render any digital systems (essentially, ''everything'') inoperable. Spectrum took out his base of operations with an old Lancaster Bomber, [[Chekhov's Gun|which had been introduced earlier in the episode]].
* Early episodes of ''[[Re BootReBoot]]'' have Bob doing this, since Mainframe doesn't have the advanced [[Techno Babble]] Bob is used to using in the Super Computer. However, the antique devices Bob has to make do with tend to fail, making this a subversion.
* In ''[[Extreme Ghostbusters]],'' the new crew tried the old proton packs against the [[Big Bad]] in the pilot episode and found them to be ineffective, forcing them to come up with a more powerful trap and proton guns. Even so, the old equipment still works, which makes it a suitable back-up.
