Not sure it still works, but I have a 48k Sinclair ZX spectrum that looks like this:


Also, a still functioning famicom.

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.

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.

Is that anything to do with what Page used whilst jamming during a song in  "The song remains the same"?

Doubt it very much. Moog sold theremin kits, and I can't imagine Page taking the time to build one. And I'm sure he had the correct change for a new one.
