Show off your vintage electrics and electronics!

Show your awesome vintage electrics and electronics (old PCs, or whatever)!
 
I have a old Canon TS-84H battery and solar calculator that still works this day! Here it is, it doesn’t have a date code on it. I think it must be at least from the 90’s? And yes I was using a shitty camera (hence why the image quality is bad) but hey, thats what I got.
 

 

 

 

BONUS: You can even show off your old games from PC to from old game consoles!
 
I still have this awesome Space Cadet Pinball game on my PC, and I love it!
 

Every “show your vintage electronics” thread has a compact Mac so may as well get it out of the way now.
 

 
It works though I don’t have a keyboard to boot it. It came from a kindergarten, as evident by crayon marks all over the case (and the sticker, as far as I know at least here in Australia all Macs ordered for education had that sticker). It has the full 4 megs of RAM but no hard disk - not an issue since these had the operating system in ROM. This model was most popular with education institutions, to save money they would order them without the drive and just load software off the network.
 
Also seen in this picture is my Pentium-III computer, a 21” FD Trinitron and a 28.8 Lightspeed modem (a popular choice amongst ISPs back in the day). Though it’s a little bit too new to be age-correct I plan to use the modem to get the Mac online if I ever get a keyboard, since I have the facility to dial in to my network using a Cisco router with an analog modem card. Would be cool to chat on IRC with the thing.
 
Plenty more where that came from….. I am a professional hoarder.

Thats awesome that your old mac pc still works. Is it a special type of keyboard that it uses?

@theawesomeguy98201  
Good god, I miss that game.

@theawesomeguy98201  
Yeah, it uses a special Apple keyboard, and they’re super expensive. You can buy an adapter that allows you to use a PC keyboard but it still costs more than what I paid for the computer itself. I guess I’m just going to wait until I find one in the trash lol

Got a bunch of hardware, computer parts but the one I still use everyday is that ~40 years old Scott amp.  
 

 
@s8wc3  
Ah yes, a beauty! Trinitrons weree excellent. I found myself a 19” ProView but with a similar, Mitsubishi tube (Diamondtron clone) and I used it even after LCDs were available.  
Also tried to reassemble a P3 lately, on a old mobo.. I’ll have to build a nice case for it.  

@Officer Hotpants  
You can download the game on from some website, I that forgot… :/

@theawesomeguy98201  
There are plenty of abandonware sites out there, I highly recommand you to go there. Myself I’ll spend some time playing the original Diablo on PC.
 
Also I can’t get rid of this Atari. It was a gift, came with a cassette player but I still need to find a floppy drive for it!  

 

@theawesomeguy98201  
Hah, that Pinball is apparently one of the most memorable things ever :D Even I played it when i was studying at my institute if i get bored or whatever stuff happened, heh.
 
Sadly I haven’t got much old stuff anymore, only my oldest PC from early 2000s that was upgraded few times i believe. (from AMD Duron CPU to Athlon XP one)

@Proudy Hooves  
Cool! Its downloadable from sites from what @Patachu said. If you want it on your modern day PC. :)

@theawesomeguy98201  
I already got it on my notebooks for a while (although one of them is a netbook actually lol) plus i forgot to mention that i played Pinball from my netbook thingy during my student days, heh.  
So yeah, i could play Pinball sometimes. Although i mainly surf internets now.

@Patachu  
I love that applebloom, nice touch. That looks like a really nice amplifier as well (I especially like the knobs). I’ve also got a couple old home stereo amps myself.
 
 
This Onkyo was a typical find in Aus homes back in it’s day, along with the likes of the Pioneer Rondo 3000X (and one other prolific series of Pioneers I don’t remember the name of off the top of my head). About as basic as you can get, doesn’t even have a protection circuit! I think its about 20wpc with probably a lot of distortion, I can’t find any documentation on it so I don’t know for sure. I find these low end and primitive receivers endearing for whatever reason.
 
 
This isn’t my photo but it’s the same model, mine is in storage because it’s fubar unfortunately. One of the STK integrated amplifier modules has shorted out, and to replace it costs more than what the whole amplifier is worth. Shame because it performed great when it worked. 50w into 8 ohms at 0.008% THD!
 
I’ve got a 17” Diamondtron as well, also stuck in storage because it needs some work. I heard a long time ago that in some ways they were better than the Sony’s. I don’t remember exactly how though. The DT’s tube is pitch black but the Sony is green-ish, maybe that has some effect on it.  
Also that motherboard…. quite the find there!

@s8wc3
 
Nice amplifiers! I wish I had one for use with speakers.

@s8wc3  
ah, shucks. i did also burn a transistor on my Scott years ago, threw a party with friends, booze and playing some Soulfly. the protection circuits rather did their job like politicians facing a global crisis and it’s been left in the living room collecting dust for a while til I decided to fix it.
 
I also have a Harman Kardon PM660 on the living room but haven’t found what’s wrong yet. Might be the transistors or some caps again, I’ll have to check ‘em! ( i mean, spend some time testing everything now I have a decent multimeter and a oscilloscope)
 
for the monitors, CRTs always can be calibrated, there’s plenty of software for that, depending of the menus it can be nightmare-ish.

I have like 50 analog film cameras on my home.

@ImpOfficial  
Nice! Do they work?

@ImpOfficial  
Oh I bet!  
Guess we all have a thing for vintage cameras. Even if I mostly buy old film cameras for the lens attached on it, these are pretty~
 
 
I’ll try to make a better pic of my lenses when there’s a better light.

Oh boy, this is just the thread for me. I’ll go and take some photos right now. :D

So, let’s start with my audio system.
 

 

 
Sorry for the bad lighting, it’s midnight here.
 
There is:  
Technics RS-T55T cassette deck - I use this one very often, it’s nothing special but it has great sound  
qualitty.
 
Phillips CS604 CD player - This one doesn’t work, the CD loadin tray broke, probably a bad gear.
 
Nordmende 1050 Cassette Deck - A pretty good 80’s cassette deck, sadly has some problems with recording. An  
interesting thing is that it can record on FeCr tapes.
 
Nordmende PA 1050 Amplifier - Just an 80’s amplifier, the caps are probably bad. I have to set the treble to +4 and bass to -4 for the music to sound normal. I plan to get something better.
 
Nordmende TU 1050 Tuner - Honestly, a really great tuner. I really like that it has the LW band, I listen to some LW stations.
 
 
As you can tell, I really like cassettes. I Have a pretty big collection. Maybe 300 tapes?
 
Anyway, heres a WoodenToaster tape I made!
 

@RainbowŠpekGS
 
Cool amplifier system!

 
I always love these nixie tube displays!
