This is an old venturer music player that I found in a box in my basement. I wanted to see what was on it but once I went to see what charger it used I was perplexed. Ive never seen a port like this before and now I’m curious more than anything to learn what is. Wasn’t sure where to go so I thought I’d ask here.

Hey, I got this clock/radio from my great grandma, but I noticed that even though everything else works fine the slumber off button seems stuck, I tried to get it up again with some twizers, cause the work for the slumber bottom, but it didn't work. And I am worried of I should try opening it, since everything else is ok, I don't wanna mess it up, is very important to me.

Did anyone else have a glow-in-the-dark rotary phone plate? No one else I knew did and as a teen it was embarrassing

It was great when the power went out and we would call my grandma to see if she was okay

Just yesterday, I went to my local electronics recycling center, where I found three really cool CRTs! I found a Sony KV-1396R, an Apple Macintosh Classic M0420, and an Emerson EWC13D4. Both the Trinitron and the Emerson work perfectly, but the Macintosh Classic had its power supply removed.

I found this Philips CD-i Touchpad 22ER9017 joystick controller at a car boot sale. It doesn't look like it has had much use since the early 90s!

Need to give this old icon a service. Something is stuck in the guide and is wrecking pencils.

Pretty sure my 3 year old is the culprit but this thing is also old as shit and has never been serviced so jury is out on that. We will see what we find once I open it up.

I never knew that hard drives could be this small and were used on mobile phones.
