Obsolete Electronics

[Hector]

Seriously? You have to ask? Nothing but in my house. 2 record players, (living and my room), 2 dubber tape decks, (same) 2 VCRs (yep), 1 Atari and 180 games (my room) 1 Intellevision 2 and 40 games (garage). 4 analog clocks., (living room, my room, toyroom, kitchen) no big screen or flat screen TVs, 2 boomboxes, (one on my bed), 9 year old PC, plus the AM radios, mechanical dolls and assorted 70s toys that require batteries in the toyroom. Oh and the Omni 8-track game in my toyroom closet!

Keeping it old school at HardyGirl's house!

You are a time machine, babe!

I might have one of those yellow sony tape walkman

I was just reminded of those this weekend when I watched Hot Tub Time Machine.

VHS, Beta (not sure if it works), Laserdisc, CED (Selectavision videodisc) doesn't work but I am fooling myself that I can repair it somehow.

I have an actual obsolete room full of misc. electronics (computers and what not) that are well lets say pretty much obsolete by my standards. I keep them around for chips, parts or what have you.

I do have most of the old vintage video game consoles as well in my game room. Some of the oldies but goodies are still fun to play every now and then.

My husband came home one day all a twitter (old meaning, not new stalking meaning) because he found a double deck GoVideo machine for $10.00. His original one he paid close to $600 when it came out.

He loves that machine because it was the first to lift the macrovision protection on VHS tapes. And of course, this new one works fabulously. (His old one does too. So now I have two in my home. 2 machines that dub VHS cassette to cassette... now that we've transferred the old tapes to DVD-rs!)

I still have a couple of those dubbing machines. I can say that I did actually make money on my machines back in the days of the VHS tape. R.I.P.

I still have a VHS recorder, laserdisc player and HD DVD player hooked up to our main TV. I like to be able to handle as many formats as possible, obsolete or not.

Old tech is cool, and I love looking at old consumer electronics advertisements like the above.

These are the 8 track players my husband keeps bringing home.

Oh shoot! I forgot about my walkman. I carry it around all the time! Mine is purple.

I still have a green screen 19" tv with a knob on it, laserdisc players, record players, atari 2600, pong, cassette walkman, top loading vcr (the beta finally wore out a few years ago), rotary phone on the wall

what I really need is an old commodore 64

I used to have a Zenith TransOceanic Radio with tubes for the longest time (always worked fine)

I only sold it a few years ago.

I use the term "obsolete" to describe this older tech (and yes, we still play our vinyl and love it) as that is how I heard it described once sometime last year, in a vinyl record shop by a college age girl who was upset that her hipster boyfriend wanted to stop in.

So, not derogatory... using the phrase as an ironic twist.

I still have a VCR and a portable CD player I use to take to the gym to workout when I was in high school
