1901 Edison victrola. Listen to Edison's band.

An Acetronic MPU1000 games console, from the 1970s - 76 or 78 I think. Still worked last time I powered it up, I also got some extra games cheap off eBay a while back, interesting playing something other than the three or four games I remember from childhood.

Newton MessagePad 2100. I used it daily from 2008-2011 (well after I had an iPhone) for office work and everyone thought I was crazy but I loved it. I still prefer the ui for calendar/contacts/note taking compared to everything else out there.

Probably an nes or vcr. I have an Atari too but it's not hooked up so idk if it still works. I have some old film projectors too

The oldest thing that runs on electricity in my house is probably a tie between my washer and dryer. Both are Kenmore 80 series from the early 90's. I've repaired them a number of times and will continue to do so.

I also have a late 90's vintage Magnavox tube TV which is in working if slightly twitchy order. I set it up every now and again to play SNES games on. The picture's gone slightly orange and depending on what's being displayed there's a notable coil whine, I'm sure it needs to be recapped.

I still have my original SNES, it doesn't work and I'm not sure why. One of its controllers and all but one of my old cartridges is still working. It's not going to be long I'm going to have to change the batteries in the games. Weird to think my copy of Link to the Past has had RAM turned on and running for 33 years straight.

I've still got my RioVolt mp3 CD player. The in-line remote died but the machine itself works fine. I've had it since 2001. I'm very fond of it.

As far as computers, I still have my high school HP Pavilion desktop, and it does still barely boot to XP, but I don't use it for anything. I have a Dell Dimension with an old 3-digit Core i7 circa 2009 that does still see some use as it's supported by modern Linux and yet it's got old shit like a PCI slot, optical drives, firewire, extrenal SATA, so it's a useful tool to have around if I have to play with Dubya-era electronics.

I have a TI 99/4A PC that still works! It has a super weird version of BASIC and I don't have any tapes for it, but it's a cool display piece. I was able to make an educated guess that it was manufactured in 1982 based on the design

Two game boy DMGs, one kept original and one modded with a new shell, membrane, and LCD screen. It's a great hobby restoring them.

Dynaco ST-70 stereo tube amp, probably from the 60s (no date on them that I can tell).

Very proud of it, got it for free at a garage sale. Replaced selenium rectifier with silicon diodes, a few new caps, and new tubes. Sounds great.

My Nintendo DS.
Somehow the battery is still charged and went multiple times from red state to a green state.

The CD player i found on the curb. I had no idea how old it was but i looked it up for this thread and it has user reviews from 2007.

Sony CMT Nez50

Works great, 15 volume already feels loud

a core 2 duo full tower pc from mid 2000s

first it had win95, XP, 7, now runs void Linux

My N64. I probably have a few pieces of tech older than me, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

I have a PC from 2004 as well.

As for daily usage and "tech" - I have a Samsung Galaxy S1. The battery still holds a charge and it's being used on a near daily basis (for very simple stuff). Runs Omnirom with android 4.

An electric turkey-carving knife, made in 1962. GE built it to last.

My old and trustworthy Kenwood KRV75R receiver. From around 1985 and still rocking!

I think my PS3 still works, although I haven't used it in awhile.

Twenty- seven year old wireless keyboard. I love it. Feels great and never fails me. Don't know what I'll do when it finally dies.

the oldest is one of my portable cassette recorders, a very early GE model that is in near perfect condition. It's so early on it doesn't have much info online, and seems to be rare, but unwanted.

The one im the most proud of is my IBM LexMark model M keyboard, It's older than me, abused to hell, modified, and is still my daily driver because it's so comfortable

Within reach on my desk, Unisonic LC-384 Dual Power Solar and Battery Backup Pocket Calculator - I've not owned it the whole time, so I looked around and see it was produced on or around 1982. It works just fine.

It has a minimal listing in the Calcuseum (http://www.calcuseum.com/SCRAPBOOK/BONUS/32532/1.htm)

My fat PS3. Still a good Blu Ray and DVD player.
