Personally I would not categorize a camera as technology, but I had a modern version of the same similar Vivitar Camera, except it came with the Wide Angle lens and also had the automatic wind. NIce point-n-shoot camera.

Going through my "old stuff box", I have an original DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) 300 Baud modem, with the auto-dial feature and memory for 20 phone numbers. Weighs about 6 pounds.

Going back a little bit more, I have a copy of the boot loader tape (paper punch tape) for a PDP8/I Computer (also a DEC product, circa 1976 more / less). Near the bottom of the box is a short stack for Fortran IV punch cards, which were generated when my 2 year college used a GE115 Computer, circa 1968.

Sorry, no photos as I am not near my stach at the moment, and do not expect to be while on vacation.

In my cellar, I do have a real old timer, in the form of a carbon button microphone, with the center piece mounted by four springs to the periphery of the microphone's framework. My guess (and this is only a guess) that it is likely from the 1930's, in which case I did not purchase this microphone, but inherited it from the homes' previous owner.

Super Myah had better clean her room. (See vids above.)

Sorry to say, but I doubt that you'll make much on eBay for the camera. I have over 100 cameras, some going back to the turn of the century, and none cost me more than $75. I do have a TRS-80 Model I that still work, plus I think 12 other computers around the house. I currently only use 3, an HP Pavilion, ASUS Netbook, and a Gateway that is about 12 years old. How about a Knight kit short wave radio from the 1960s? I bought this on Maxwell Street (flea market) in Chicago in 1967 for $5. It wasn't until I got it home that I noticed they forgot to punch the hole for the flywheel. I drilled an unknown number of holes and was able to receive shortwave from all over the world with just a long wire antenna around the ceiling of my apartment in college.

Also have Casio E125 "Pocket PC." Needs batteries. Hand tools from the last century anyone?

He who dies with the most toys wins. At least I like to be in the game. I also have quite a collection of PICs and AVRs. Bye.

I own a Commodore 64, which has 64 Kb of RAM memory, loads from a cassette, and uses a 14" TV monitor. Someday, when I decide to clean the attic, I hope to find it (in its original packing box)...with lots of cassettes, with the games I programmed (slimmed down copies of Pac-Man)
Time changed this thing for better!

I have a Sony clock radio from 1972 which I still use.

I'm not sure which is older, my TRaSh-80 or Atari 2600, though I've owned the Atari the longest. After those would be the Commodore 64.
