Oldest piece of "technology" that you own/used recently

[Dryburn]

I would have to say a small portable weather radio that is at least 15 years old but still works great, and another alarm clock radio that I have had for at least that long.

A wide variety. Some stuff that just never seems to get old to me.

Includes:
Always Something There to Remind Me - Sandie Shaw
My Ship is Coming In - Walker Brothers
Twenty Flight Rock/Somethin' Else - Eddie Cochran
Words/Pleasant Valley Sunday - Monkees
Waterloo Sunset - Kinks (Hard to find on 45 since it didn't chart in the US)
Good Time/Beach of Love - Royce Porter & the Kounts (killer rockabilly!)
She's Not There/Tell Her No - Zombies
Doggin' Around - Jackie Wilson
Walk Away Renee - Left Banke

Just a mix of common hits I like and some more obscure things that I've acquired over the years. Youtube is great for just finding new-old stuff I never knew about.

Also at Christmas time I put about 1/2 Christmas music and leave 1/2 regular stuff. Also drape a cardinal and gold garland over it sometimes with a couple ornaments.

Dang - there's some good stuff in there! My 45's disappeared back when my boys were 10, 11 years old. They decided to find out one day from what heights you could drop them before they broke...

The experiment did not end well...

Does a 1961 Boeing OC-135B Count?

Yes and I would love to hear some stories on that!

For my input I touched the ADF in the 1976 Cessna Skyhawk I use...then promptly used the Garmin 430

You have one of he "new" ones that says GE. Mine is an older model that says General Electric. I'm guessing it is 35 years old and still working great.

1938 Zenith 6-S-254 Radio. My grandparent's bought it new for $74 (about the price of a nice large flatscreen today). Totally restored it last year...had internal decaying parts replaced and I refinished cabinet. Works like a charm...picks up AM from all over the country and shortwave from all over the world.

Next oldest piece of technology would probably be an Atari 2600. :smile:

Love the beautiful wood cabinets on the old radios. Nice refinishing job!
