1950s oscilloscope
So many old computers & calculators here.
I have an Apple IIe, but at the moment it’s at my friend’s place. What I have with me are a bunch of Thinkpads: a barely working X60, a fine X200 with busted battery, and a combination of 20 and 30 series ones I am currently using.
May I insert some additions of analog here?
I got a Rotel RA-04 audio amp from 2006 from my dad that I am currently using, and I’m sure there are older stuff where it’s from.
Aside from that, a Yaesu FT-60 FM transceiver made in 2004 still running strong.
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.
I have a bunch of mid-century Roberts radios that I’ve convert to smart speakers (using the original speakers and, where possible, the amplifiers) if that counts.
Either my TI-99/4A, or if it still works, the IBM 7072 that I got from NYIT for $200 in 2000.
My husband has a collection of obsolete technology. The oldest thing he’s got in there is a VT100 terminal.
oldest electronic
Electronic WHAT!?! Choose a noun, son.
One of the Play it Loud Game Boys (the red one), it’s as old as I am
I believe it’s my Atari 2600! I can’t think of anything older that I’ve got that runs on electric juice.
My original gameboy colour
1962 fender brownface pro-amp
I still have my original Pikachu gameboy color, and it works. Somehow the battery on my Pokemon Red hasn’t died but there’s nothing useful on it.
Not electronic, but I have a pre-WW2 era windup clock that still works. It’s loud af and built like a tank
I have a battery operated tube radio from mid to late 1940’s. It even works, but the battery it uses is getting rare and quite expensive. And my country doesn’t really use AM radio broadcasts anymore, so it’s more of a curiosity nowadays.
I also have a lot of working stuff from the 1950’s, mostly radios and amplifiers. Great gear, and much easier to service than their modern counterparts.
Bulova Accutron from the 60s. I also have a Heathkit oscilloscope which I think is of similar vintage.
Donkey Kong Game & Watch (1982)
