The original fat PS2 I got for Christmas 20-odd years ago. It still plays games perfectly fine if the discs aren’t too scratched up (RIP my bro’s copy of Marvel vs Capcom 1).

My Amiga 500 is from 1987.
But I think the stereo & LP player in the living room is from the early 70s.

I was thoroughly impressed by Technology Connections exploration of the Sunbeam automatic beyond belief toaster. Bought one cheap off Craigslist a while ago and added a ground wire. Works great.

I also picked up an IBM selectric pretty cheap, mostly works.

Not sure how loose you define tech, but mine would be my motorcyle, a 1981 Yamaha XS400 that my grandfather gifted me. It's certainly feeling it's age, so it requires a lot more effort on my end to keep running than most bikes made this century. It's not made for modern highway speeds, it's not happy when I try, so I keep it off the interstate, 50 and under. That said, when the weather's good, I've never had a carbeurated engine start so easily, and it's a joy to ride!

My microwave from 1985 which came with the house.

My toaster, similar one here. It was the toaster that I grew up with. My father in turn bought it at a garage sale. I recently tracked down the history and found that it was manufactured in the 50's, so it's been in near constant use for around 75 years.

Some old corded drill that my dad had. It's supposed to have a reverse function but it only goes one direction now.

I've got no idea when it was made.

Nokia 3310, it even spent a good 20 min submerged because a 9lb pike pushed my parents out of the canoe and had to walk back to shore

My rather ancient audio setup: a Yamaha RX-496RDS stereo receiver with a Vestax PMC 17A Mixer and T+A Triton R130 speakers for 2 (lame ass) Gemini PT 2100 Turntables (through a preamp) and some PC-Audio. Most of this stuff is from the 90s or early 00s. Wasn't the best setup in the first place but it still works fine to this day and probably even beats some of the contemporary bluetooth thingies.

My Harman Kardon pc speakers. They are as old as I am. Here's a pic of the same model I found online.

2004 Wacom Cintiq 21UX. Drawing on a screen that large and heavy is awesome. I built it into my desk and can raise and lower it from flat to nearly 90 degrees. The brightness has faded over the years, but I won't let it go until I can afford a new one (equivalent $3k + today). I can barely work in PS with just a mouse anymore. It spoils ya.

Technics SL-1900 turntable from 1977, it was a pretty midrange model for its time but it sure as hell is better than any deck you can get new today. The only thing that doesn't work is the dampening on the tonearm lift/lowering.

Type Mike IBM keyboard......goddMm indestructible.

Original Xbox console with a copy of Halo Combat Evolved though the console would probably pop if I plugged it in

I have a Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster from the 1960s. It’s an elegant, automatic design with only one control for the amount of toast. If it had slots wide enough for bagels it would be perfect.

It's been over a year since I unboxed it, but my Nintendo 64. Last game I played was Majora's Mask and it suffered a hard reset in the stone temple that made me box it back up.

Octopus Game&Watch from 1981.

The gameplay is still fire.

I have Lenco turntable from 1969, making it roughly 54 years old.

My old and trustworthy Kenwood KRV75R receiver. From around 1985 and still rocking!

My Yamaha speakers that I got in 1996. Beautiful sound from them. The receiver and other things have long since been replaced.

Still have running? Probably my Sega Genesis model 1, bought a month before I was even born in 1991, though I rarely use it as emulation is easier.

Still use daily? Probably my gen 3 iPod touch, circa 2009.

If a pocket watch counts, then my Hamilton watch from 1908. Oldest electronic would probably be my NES.

I have a Sony Erickson bluetooth headphone adapter from 2005. It still works perfectly and the battery has good life.

My hammer.

Also, an axe. Arguably, …fire?

My oldest piece of tech would probably be my C64 or maybe an old camera I have. But the one that I'm actually proud of is my car, a Mercedes W124 from 1988. It'll be hard to find a bolt on that car that I haven't touched and I'm finally getting it where my even my perfectionist self is happy with the way it looks and drives.

Video door-phone from the eighties. The screen is crap but hit a few times and it works lol

Playstation 2 slim and an original PS2 controller. Still runs really smoothly, at least for tech at the time. Disc drive is really cool.

I have a TI 99/4A PC that still works! It has a super weird version of BASIC and I don't have any tapes for it, but it's a cool display piece. I was able to make an educated guess that it was manufactured in 1982 based on the design

An Acetronic MPU1000 games console, from the 1970s - 76 or 78 I think. Still worked last time I powered it up, I also got some extra games cheap off eBay a while back, interesting playing something other than the three or four games I remember from childhood.
