No one asked, but, I've been collecting all sorts of old technology.  I love devices that built to last and are made to be repaired.

Treadle powered sewing machines and hand-powered tools

any electronics with tubes, especially SW radios and stereos  (tube stuff is disappearinf fast!)

Reel2reel tape decks

Dual turntables and records (No, I don't have 8-tracks)

I have 4 Sony Betamaxes and still use them!

mechanical typewriters and calculators

magic lanterns

Yea, I'm a case, but my wife is understanding.  Grin
