Nokia N73 counts?

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

I got an Apple IIc. Drive, monitor, keyboard all work.

A 1930's Remington mechanical typewriter. My dad used it regularly until he passed away, it still works perfectly and I've got a whole box of ribbons for it.

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

Probably the 20-year-old microwave.

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)

I have some railroad stock certificates from the late 19th century that I need to frame. They're a few bucks on ebay and really freaking cool

In terms of electronics, I have some model trains from the 60s and 70s that are pretty worthless but keep going despite the abuse and lack of maintenance thanks to electric motors being so simple and easy to maintain. Other than that it's probably a shoe in between my wife's N64, PS2 and CRT TV, an old police scanner I got off ebay, or the early plasma TV that I got from my parents who got it from my aunt who got it with their house.

I have a Sony M2 Micro card with inside it's USB adapter.

I've used it to install countless Linux distros since 2007 😅

14 year old Wacom Tablet. It still gets regular use.

i have speakers from somewhere in the 1980's made in the soviet union

I have a 600w ham radio amplifier from the 60s. It's a Heathkit SB-200

I'm very proud of it because I bought it in rough condition, and repaired it myself. Replaced all the leaky capacitors and did some other work in there. Now it runs like a dream! It was my first time working with tube gear. The voltages in these things is 2500 volts, that'll kill you dead before you know what happened.

I also have an SB-220 that I got broken. I fixed it up but didn't do a full rebuild on it. It'll do 1200 watts, but I don't need that much power so I haven't used it much. It's in storage. That one is from the late 60s early 70s.

My next oldest device is also ham radio gear, a Kenwood TS-530S from the 80s. There's a lot of solid state stuff inside, plenty of transistors doing all the work. But the final output stage is still a good ole pair of tubes. I bought this in non working condition, and fixed it myself as well. Good fun!

Apple IIe even has a dot matrix printer still in operation (paper running low though)

But probably my oldest piece is my Beale upright piano, made in the 1920s, still beautiful, still hammering out music.

Is a wristwatch considered tech? My daily one is from 1971 and with a service it keeps time way better than a lot of new mechanical watches.

I have a a working box camera from 1930's. Or it would work, if I could still find film for it at a semi-decent price.

My Sansui 1000X - receiver amp is in daily use and was made in 1971, it's in near mint condition in every way. I did a complete internal cleanup and replaced a few electrolytic capasitors just to be sure to avoid any problems in the future. I believe the unit may well outlive me. I love the silverface-teak cabinet aesthetics. It's paired with a Lenco - L75 turntable from the early 70's and AR-7x speakers from the same decade, together they sound pretty much perfect to my ears.

And I also have my great-aunt's windable table clock. It's ~100-120 years old, but still works if only I remembered to wind it every other day.

Olympus OM 10. Bought it second hand a few years ago, when I felt I need film cameras back in my life. Must be from the early 80s. I only use it since maybe 4 years now, but I love that camera.

Oh, while I am typing I just remembered my Braun Paxette from the 1950s. But I don't like that camera and thus don't use it. Planning on selling it tbh.

If we're including family consoles, I'm gonna say the family wii my family got in the late 2000s. I was actually pretty pissed when we couldn't find it when it was in temporary storage because there is one mii that I would have been absolutely furious with myself if I couldn't remake it on my switch. Luckily we did find it and I've managed to recreate all the miis we had on there onto my switch, especially the one mii my grandma made.

1955 Moskva-5 Camera in perfect condition.

Well, not that old, and even typing this hurts me (and apologizes to all that are hurt too lol), but I just played a lot with my PSP GO and my DS Lite this week, and in a related field Jackie Chan for PS1 in my Anbernic RG351V (old software in this case).
