View topic - What old school tech you own?

Record player, Radio/Record player/8-track tape player cabinet (if you've never seen that, think a huge piece of furniture that's about as big as a narrow table [sometimes] that houses all those things - very big in the 70s), a TV with rabbit ears and a VHS player built in (state of the art when it was bought!), an old boombox with tape deck that unfortunately doesn't work anymore ;___; I think it got water damaged or something, an original Nintendo, an original Walkman, a camcorder from when they used to be as big as a breadbox and had to sit on your shoulders (when VHS tapes were the only things that fit in them to record), a rotary phone and a goddamn 8mm movie camera and 8mm film projector. If you're too young to know what those are: camera and projector

That was the only way to make and watch home movies until about the 90s when camcorders with VHS became more popular and semi-affordable for the average home.

I WIN! 8DDD (haha just kidding)

I would like to state clearly though that I am not a hipster xD this stuff's all actually from my childhood, and I inherited it all from my parents and I am keeping every single thing no matter how outdated and obsolete it gets because old things are awesome.

Of course most of the stuff doesn't work anymore >_> But I'll fix that one of these days lol.

Oh oh I forgot one of my favorite things!

Got a typewriter like this - or similar at least, it's a metal, not plastic one with space below the keys

That's thanks to my ex though, found that at a yard sale I think.
I used to have an electric typewriter when I was in school though, before computers got popular lol

J'ai mis mon sourire en berne,
Immolé l'herbe et son pollen
Décoré les murs de la caverne
Pour savourer pleinement ma peine.
I've got my old diskman, first iPod I got [iPod Video?] and my Gameboy Colour.

Hmm... the oldest kind of tech I have is a Sega Game Gear that I have stored away... anything else I have isn't nearly as old as that... not even the VHS tapes that I own, which includes an Abbott and Costello tape. Everything else I own is fairly nee by technical standards. o.o

Back home, I have a working NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis (two of those, actually!!), and somewhere I have a GBA SP floating around but I'll probably never see that again.

Right here, I have a VCR and a bunch of old GBA games. x3 And GBC!

I love oldschool tech. I also have some discmans but I dunno where they disappeared to.

I break technology, so it doesn't last long around me...

I just gave away my 1st gen iPod...

I think my TV is my oldest piece of technology D:
