    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.

    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.

    I own a model electric train that was built in 1937. So, 88 years young?

    Runs well, it’s kinda weird to think that this was a toy and this level of build quality was normal. To be fair, it wasn’t exactly. This was a high end toy aimed at affluent teens and young adults. It would have been equivalent to buying a new PlayStation. But still, I have trouble imagining any toy you could buy today that would hold up like this.

    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.

      I suspect this is the (non-word) singular form of the noun “electronics”. If there’s a better term for such words, and you let me know what it is, I will give you my thank.

    My husband has a collection of obsolete technology. The oldest thing he’s got in there is a VT100 terminal.
