Huh. I have a box with my old Coleco-vision in it, but it hasn't been plugged in in over a decade. Likewise I have my first VCR (1994?) and my childhood video disc player sitting in my shop, waiting for me to figure out how to properly tie them into the rest of my entertainment center.

My old (inherited) 8 track player, turntable, and stereo are hooked up in my exercise room, and they get reliably used at least 3 or 4 (or maybe 3) times a year. I've had that since like 1987 and it smells amazing when it powers up. It's probably going to burn my house down some day.

My childhood digital alarm clock is in one of our spare bedrooms. That's probably circa 1986 or 87 as well.

On the more "every day" end of the spectrum, my desktop computer has a has a 10 Gig HD in it from somewhere in the late 90s (go go z:\ !!!) that I keep meaning to really clean out and reorganize/retire.
