Oldest bit of tech?

[LopezMeister]

Bechstein Grand Piano, it's over 100 years old (can't remember how old exactly) as well as a wind up phonograph.

 

[aDuck]

one of the original, fat, 4x AAA gameboys.

With space invaders.

Nuff said.

P.S. may not be the oldest, but for me its the most memorable.

 

[Tourette]

A 1980's travel alarm clock which has never failed me yet.

 

[Spindleweed]

A circa 1960 teasmade, dragged it out of the attic this weekend. Now I can wake up every morning to a stream of scalding hot water in my ear.

 

[johnzaku]

an old german clock that fits in a nice little glass dome. I love that thing, but it's missing a little piece connecting the pendulum to the minute arm. =[

 

[Stryc9]

I have a 1917 Remington .30-06 made by Enfield that I picked up at a gun show for $145.

I have my dad's old Timex Sinclare 1000 and a bunch of the stuff for it that he was just going to toss.

There's a couple of old 286s and a couple of 486s in a pile that would all be functional if I had the time and energy to dig them out and work on them.

 

[Gmano]

I used to own one of the first vacuum cleaners, it was pump operated an required a two person team to use. It now resides in a museum.

 

[CouchCommando]

100 year old silver fob watch, with chain.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

I have a soviet stopwatch. (yes, made in CCCP)
I also have some books.

 

[Alfador_VII]

I have a Macintosh from 1994. And an mp3 player that has moving parts. You can hear the hard-disk rotating in it.

Hard disk MP3 players still very much exist. The iPod classic has used an HDD for all 6 generations. Somewhere I have a Creative HD based MP3 player, but I use an iPhone now.

I still have a VHS VCR and a bunch of tapes for it. It's even still under my TV, and powered up! I also have an old Gameboy at the back of a drawer.

 

[Soxafloppin]

My PS2 Slimline!

 

[XJ-0461]

Appropriately enough for this site, My PS2.

But if CDs and stuff like that counts, I've got the "Nevermind" album sitting just in front of me.

Ooh. I never knew that. Evidently they aren't as noisy and endearing. Creative Muvo Nomad here ^^. Cost just under 200euro, back in the day..Weird, how time flies. Forgot about my Gameboy Colour and games, too.

 

[Cherry Cola]

VHS. It's from the age of the Dinosaurs or something.
