1980 Sony trintitron crt TV that still works. Got the N64 hooked up to it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I cleaned up when I moved, so the oldest gadget I have right now is a 15 year old MSI laptop, still happily running with linux.
I have a few, but the one that immediately came to mind is my HP16c calculator.
You should throw it a quinceanera. Put it in a dress and buy it a small car.
I still use my 2011 MacBook Pro! He’s got a SSD and 16GB RAM now, but he still works perfectly—and on original battery, lasts for over three hours! (Originally got him for LAN parties, and always used him plugged in. I believe 40-ish charge cycles.)
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
Probably some old radio, not sure of the date though.
