20 GB hard drive from 2006.
Next year we're going to have a party for it.
Casio f-91w watch. Its like 6 years old now, so the battery only has like 4 more years left.
My Nintendo dsi. Since 2009
A Hitachi TRK-3D8 boombox from 1986 - you can see it sitting above my retro PC here.
I got that for 12β¬ on eBay and that was the best deal I ever made. It has great audio range, the subwoofer packs a mean punch and it looks awesome. It's the perfect device for a drum&bass enthusiast. Just put some batteries and a Bluetooth tape in and you can even take it outside (it's quite heavy, though).
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 believe itβs my Atari 2600! I canβt think of anything older that Iβve got that runs on electric juice.
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.
Empire State radio, R52
A TI-99/4. I need to find an old tv to hook it up
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.
1980 Sony trintitron crt TV that still works. Got the N64 hooked up to it.
1962 fender brownface pro-amp
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.
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.
A Nintendo64 with several game cartridges. It's a little flaky, but it still works for the most part.
Probably some old radio, not sure of the date though.
I have my grandmothers iMac G4. Just an interesting looking from the days when Apple made interesting looking things. It still works but itβs really used for anything.
my first computer. it's about 12 years old
Not a full electronic per se, but I do have a heatsink from an old second gen IBM memory module.
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.
Either the wood-grain radio with clock or a 1970s bubble-LED calculator
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.
I have a CRT from 1995. Aside from that, probably my dad's turntable which has unofficially become mine, or the Yamaha electric keyboard
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!
