Old Crompton's Secret: A Body Renewed, A Mind Unchanged is a classic science fiction short story by Harl Vincent, first published in Astounding Stories of Super-Science in February 1930. It tells the story of a bitter old hermit who uses a young scientist's rejuvenation machine to regain his youth, but finds his old, criminal mind remains unchanged, leading to a dangerous conflict. The story explores themes of science, morality, and the idea that a new body doesn't necessarily change a person's inner self.
