Tron memorabilia. Pac-Man memorabilia. 78rpm records and Victrola's. Antique radios and one old lady  ;)   lmao

Having children certainly makes one feel retro, I can attest to that :D

I'm actually facinated by how many retro things my 6 year old is into.  Crazy Legs Crane.  Pink Panther.  Populous on the Amiga.  PacMan.

I actually bought him a Nes/Snes combo system for Christmas.  I think he is going to love it.

Ive been tempted to get a NES or sega for my kid when he gets a tiny bit older. SOmething a bit easier to manipulate for him (both controller and machine wise) and a lot of good kids games

How old is he?  My son started playing PacMan literally before he could walk.  it was at about 7 months, and was able to clear a screen within a few weeks.  Just get a controller that can handle a little chewing, and the worst that will happen is you will have a slobbery controller.

Laserdisc movies :)

There is nothing more retro than putting in big mirror discs the size of LP records containing half a film into a huge gigantic player that makes most video recorders from the 80s look compact!

Also anything from late 70s early 80s games wise (ie before Microsoft infected everything and ruined it forever haha)

No room for any retro hobby. But I love the steam era, muscle cars, history in general. I'd collect anything from swords to old radios if I had the room.

Zoids.
video games, although most of the machines were bought when current.

I'm into old radio shows, from back in the 30's up to the 60s or so.... I've got about 26,000 tucked away on the hard drive. ;-)
