Either my TI-99/4A, or if it still works, the IBM 7072 that I got from NYIT for $200 in 2000.

Empire State radio, R52

I've got an old TRS-80 in stored-in-a-leaky-shed-for-40-years condition. I can also lay my hands on an AM/FM radio that I think dates to the 70's.

A TI-99/4. I need to find an old tv to hook it up

Sinclair Microvision MTV-1. It doesn't work though. First released about 1978 according to Wikipedia.

Found it in a thrift store in a small town with a single stop light, in the middle of nowhere. That's also where I got my sealed copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator 3.0 on 5 1/4 floppies. Total cost $7.

Game Boy Advance with a Pokemon Sapphire cartridge that I don't think has been removed in over a decade. Every time I turn it on I always wonder how I spent so many hours staring at a screen with no backlight.

One of these telephones. Was my grandfather's.

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

[-] pr06lefs@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

very solid, built to last. I used to use it to talk on skype.

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Ohhhhhh YES AWESOME!

you got that hooked up to a PBX?

[-] pr06lefs@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

a little USB box that you plug the phone into, made it into an audio device. needed windows drivers and I no longer use windows.

Probably a Cowon iAudio mp3 player from the mid aughts. I might still have a Philips cd mp3 player from the early aughts. Ooh in my garage I have Sony PC speakers from 2001.

[-] Binette@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

my first computer. it's about 12 years old

[-] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

I have my grandmothers iMac G4. Just an interesting looking from the days when Apple made interesting looking things. It still works but it’s really used for anything.

[-] herpypony@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago

1980 Sony trintitron crt TV that still works. Got the N64 hooked up to it.

[-] penguin202124@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Probably some old radio, not sure of the date though.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Probably either my Olympus OM-1 or my Minolta SR-T 201. Both still work (the Olympus just needs some cleaning and maintenance)

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago

I have a CRT from 1995. Aside from that, probably my dad's turntable which has unofficially become mine, or the Yamaha electric keyboard

[-] monovergent@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Either the wood-grain radio with clock or a 1970s bubble-LED calculator

[-] Moose@moose.best 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I have a Milton Bradley Microvision from around 1979, the first handheld game system that used cartridges. I have the block breaker game, it still works but I think some components are wearing out as the game speed feels way too fast. Thing takes 2 9V batteries!

A panasonic lumix dmc-fz50 that I got from my mum after she got her new camera. It's from 2007, so not that old, but still, it's only three years younger than me. It takes pretty good photos for it's age, especially macro shots. It's biggest flaws are the display and view finder. The image in the view finder got yellow and foggy with time, to the point it's almost unusable. And the display is rather dark so it's no good in sunny weather.

[-] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

A Bell & Howell 8mm/16mm projector and a handheld super 8 video camera that belonged to my dad. I'm not sure how old they are but probably late 70s/80s. From what I gather, he was very much into manual film editing.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

Sega Megadrive from about 1989.
