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.
250 MHZ analog oscilloscope from HP
A TI-99/4. I need to find an old tv to hook it up
Fully functioning Commodore 64, monitor, 2 floppy drives, printer, and several joysticks.
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.
Empire State radio, R52
I have the Commodore64 my family got used when I was 8.
I’ve had it less long, but the sewing machiney mother bought after she left college is older than that.
And I inherited it even more recently, but also have my maternal grandfather’s electric hair clippers from when he was a teenager, around 1960.
And I bought my house most recently of all, but some of the wiring dates back to 1926 (the house itself was built without electricity in 1880).
Casio CZ-1 synthesizer, produced in 1986.
Our old pong console. I don’t know if it still works because it’s been boxed up for over a decade at this point.
Oldest in use? Probably my old texas instruments graphing calculator, but it’s dying. I got it back in the early nineties for college, and my kid was using it last year with homework, but the screen is failing and it sometimes just freezes until you pull and replace the batteries. So only kinds in use, and barely hanging on.
My VCR is newer and still sees use rarely, but was used daily for a few years in the early naughties.
Wait! The phonograph! It’s still functional and my dad got it in the early eighties, so it’s older than the pong console, but I think calling it electronics is dubious, so I dunno if it counts. But it’s the oldest functional electric powered thing we have that I know of.
Not entirely sure but this has to be one of the oldest and is fully functional.
4 channel mono audio mixer, with germanium transistors only
From the mid-sixties
Cool. I’ll give you $50 for it 🤪
Probably my Canon AE-1. Not sure of the exact year, but the model was made from roughly '76 to '84.
My speakers by far
