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.

My TI-84 calculator.

Probably my dad's electric turkey carver. It was a wedding gift he got in 1980

My Nintendo dsi. Since 2009

Lost a lot of cool old stuff in a fire a few years ago, so I'm guessing my original N64.

20 GB hard drive from 2006.

Next year we're going to have a party for it.

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

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

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

[-] charonn0@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago

A Nintendo64 with several game cartridges. It's a little flaky, but it still works for the most part.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Not a full electronic per se, but I do have a heatsink from an old second gen IBM memory module.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

Sega Megadrive from about 1989.

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!

[-] monovergent@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

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

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 2 points 1 week 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

[-] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

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

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.

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.

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.
