A TI-99/4. I need to find an old tv to hook it up
My TI-84 calculator.
Probably my dad's electric turkey carver. It was a wedding gift he got in 1980
I have my old Speak & Spell. It still works.
My Nintendo dsi. Since 2009
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.
Lost a lot of cool old stuff in a fire a few years ago, so I'm guessing my original N64.
I've got my og NES.
1962 fender brownface pro-amp
Either my TI-99/4A, or if it still works, the IBM 7072 that I got from NYIT for $200 in 2000.
my first computer. it's about 12 years old
Probably some old radio, not sure of the date though.
A Nintendo64 with several game cartridges. It's a little flaky, but it still works for the most part.
Not a full electronic per se, but I do have a heatsink from an old second gen IBM memory module.
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!
I have a CRT from 1995. Aside from that, probably my dad's turntable which has unofficially become mine, or the Yamaha electric keyboard
Either the wood-grain radio with clock or a 1970s bubble-LED calculator
Probably either my Olympus OM-1 or my Minolta SR-T 201. Both still work (the Olympus just needs some cleaning and maintenance)
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.
