    I own a model electric train that was built in 1937. So, 88 years young?

    Runs well, it’s kinda weird to think that this was a toy and this level of build quality was normal. To be fair, it wasn’t exactly. This was a high end toy aimed at affluent teens and young adults. It would have been equivalent to buying a new PlayStation. But still, I have trouble imagining any toy you could buy today that would hold up like this.

    I have a radio from the late 30s, though not in working condition. And a radio from 1961 that I use regularly

    Sinclair Microvision MTV-1. It doesn’t work though. First released about 1978 according to Wikipedia.

    Found it in a thrift store in a small town with a single stop light, in the middle of nowhere. That’s also where I got my sealed copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator 3.0 on 5 1/4 floppies. Total cost $7.

    I have a bunch of mid-century Roberts radios that I’ve convert to smart speakers (using the original speakers and, where possible, the amplifiers) if that counts.

    I have my grandmothers iMac G4. Just an interesting looking from the days when Apple made interesting looking things. It still works but it’s really used for anything.

    Probably a Cowon iAudio mp3 player from the mid aughts. I might still have a Philips cd mp3 player from the early aughts. Ooh in my garage I have Sony PC speakers from 2001.

    So many old computers & calculators here.

    I have an Apple IIe, but at the moment it’s at my friend’s place. What I have with me are a bunch of Thinkpads: a barely working X60, a fine X200 with busted battery, and a combination of 20 and 30 series ones I am currently using.

    May I insert some additions of analog here?

    I got a Rotel RA-04 audio amp from 2006 from my dad that I am currently using, and I’m sure there are older stuff where it’s from.

    Aside from that, a Yaesu FT-60 FM transceiver made in 2004 still running strong.

    I’ve got an old TRS-80 in stored-in-a-leaky-shed-for-40-years condition. I can also lay my hands on an AM/FM radio that I think dates to the 70’s.
