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.
atari vcs (from before it was rebranded to atari 2600)
1950s oscilloscope
heck i bet that is awesome looking. Does it still work?
I still have a CRT from the early 90s and all my old video game consoles.
hello fellow “never EVER let a console go” gang
Over the years i had friends come over for retro video game / lan parties and they sometimes left their consoles. Picked up an extra dreamcast and an original playstation that way.
I want to get my grandmas old china cabinet and put some LEDs in it and have the consoles on display!
Yeah even when they do eventually stop working, they’ll be nice to display
Donkey Kong Game & Watch (1982)
I believe it’s my Atari 2600! I can’t think of anything older that I’ve got that runs on electric juice.
Probably my Canon AE-1. Not sure of the exact year, but the model was made from roughly '76 to '84.
Fridge. Older than me
Casio CZ-1 synthesizer, produced in 1986.
I have a lamp my grandfather made out of an old moonshine jug in like the 40s.
That sounds electrical, but not electronic.
Would a hand crank electric generator for a doorbell count?
Still no semiconductors.
Real cool though.
I’d still count valves as electronics. No semiconductors there either. Relays too. Basically, once you’ve got an electrical signal controlling another electrical signal.
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.
Wii console
Don’t know if it counts, but my suitcase record player has vacuum tubes. Still spins but it needs a needle.
I’m still the original owner of one of these 1982 Pac-Man consoles. Actually, I thought it was lost for decades but my aunt discovered it during a basement clean out and gave it back to me. Last I checked, it still worked. But the volume is so dang loud that I remember I always had to play with it outside.
My TI-84 calculator.
