I guess I didn't realise how lucky I was.
Yup! At my last IMC renewal, I got a clapped out Cherokee 140, with a 720 channel radio (so I couldn't get the departure ATIS...), one VOR/ILS, an ADF that had a mind of its own, and a DME display that kept going blank (sometimes if I hit it hard enough, it recovered temporarily).

That's probably the bottom of the scale for IMC training, and in fairness to the club concerned their fully equipped aircraft was unexpectedly out of action... But some of the aircraft around are pretty hopeless.
