Do you own any old appliances?

^I will look out for one.
I have a pair of Russian binoculars. Very heavy duty and somehow colours look better than other binoculars that I've tried.

Quite a few little things. An unloved wardrobe dating back to the 1500's. The sideboard has now been used for firewood as we had no where dry to keep it and no one wanted it. The aardrobe now needs its door repaired as it too had no where good to keep it and my brother stepped on it and the door collapsed. No one wants it as it is a childs wardrobe. I am not sure if the bottom draw survives as my youngest brother may have already used it.
I have an old 1840's to 1850's railway map of England & Wales.
A Hornby Dublo 3 rail collection.
Lots of things. Our house was here way before the 1600's.

VCR, Boxed TV/VCR combo set, VCR/DVD combo, I think I still have my old film camera I got for my 8th birthday with film in it that has never been developed, digital clock my parents had in my childhood, old game systems.

These days appliances are designed break down before they can even really be considered "old".

What will I do if one of my major appliances, like my washing machine or the dryer, breaks down? I obviously don't have enough money to replace them, and my parents don't have as much money now that they're retired, and one day they won't be around anymore to help, anyway.

i have my late mom's 1974 Sharp microwave oven, all 600 watts of it. still works, amazingly enough. i have some 1973 model [i think] Radio Shack [anybody here remember them?] Nova 6 acoustic suspension stereo speakers. a 1970s-era Gulbransen Theatrum home organ. a '97 Honda CRV SUV. 1977 Kenmore refrigerator/freezer. 1977 tin can.

I had a their Optimum Pro7 die cast metal speakers, which I destroyed with a Roland SH09 analogue synth.

i got a pair of those floating around somewhere, that the hospital i useta work in threw away and i fished 'em out of the trash.

The desktop computer that I currently use is 9 or 10 years old. I decked out when I got it but need to upgrade the processor 1ce I have a little more money coming in & then try & save up for a new comp. I also own a Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, & Play Station 2, & the radio I'm using downstairs next to the game systems & TV is about 17 years-old. The cassette & CD player broke on the radio so only the radio part still works.

80s era Sharp integrated stereo amp. 80s JVC integrated stereo amp. 80s era Magnapan SMG stereo speakers.

I'm still using a Zanussi freezer I bought in 1984. The company had an excellent reputation for quality at the time, though with subsequent company take-overs that has wained.

1950s set of drawers.

Lol, you guys are so original! Any turntables, microphones, twin tub washers, bakelite telephones, reel to reel tape machines?

^ hehe, I expected a few posts from you when I made this thread.

Processors, effects, pedals? Bring anything else back from the hospital?
