What's the oldest tech device in your possession?

This may be mainly for hoarders. Maybe limit to still functioning.

Got a Sharp EL-506A calculator from the late 70's. Got a Magnavox VHS camcorder (full size tape) from 1988.

I used to hoard tech stuff, no longer.

Probably the oldest tech I own is a scuba dive computer circa 2002.

I have my old Nokia 3360 from the year 2000.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I've been known to use a rock to pound in garden stakes because I was too lazy to go get a hammer. Would you consider rocks laying around the backyard in my possession?


Seriously, we just moved after ten years in the same house and a bunch of late 1980s and early 90's stuff didn't make the move including what was once a very expensive calculator that printed on heat sensitive tape, two VSH players, and a very not flat screen TV. It was all living in the basement, making no noise and pretending it wasn't there.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
