A (albeit broken) VE 301
and a model very similar to this one in working condition. I recently changed the ECL86 triode / pentode in the output stage. It dearly needs replacement of some capacitors, too.

Oh, if it counts as tech, I have an 1891 Argentinian Mauser rifle - so old it isn't legally considered a firearm.
A 1951 Moog theremin.

I have a 1951 Singer Black and Gold sewing machine, complete with the original cabinet. It's in storage right now. I've had it for 17 years. Acquired it while at a yard sale. Apparently the former owners didn't see the value in it. I bought it for $40, had it appraised and it was over $100. Not sure what it would be worth now, but it has all of the original hardware, accessories and even the instruction booklet.
