What Piece of Old Technology Do You Refuse to Get Rid Of?​

Most of us probably have some old piece of technology lying around that should have been replaced years ago — but we keep it because it still works, we like using it, or we simply can't bring ourselves to throw it away.

It could be an old PC, Hi-Fi, camera, games console, keyboard, speakers, MP3 player, mobile phone or anything else.

So what's yours?

What old bit of technology do you still own or use, and why have you kept it?

Bonus points if it's something that everyone else keeps telling you belongs in a museum.

Photos welcome if you've still got it!

I foolishly gave my daughters chipped gen1 Xbox one away with shit loads of games on the hard drive.
I also wish I had kept my SNES and copier from the 90’s.
I don’t really keep anything tbh.
I do have my first ever analog mobile phone that’s like a brick lol

My old tech is usually donated to family members.

The only thing I can think of is an old Motorola V50 phone. It no longer has a battery, the charging cable has perished, and with the 2G GSM networks shutting down, it will no longer be of any use to anyone other than as a paperweight.
It was a slap in the face parting gift from Motorola when they closed operations at the Easter Inch, Bathgate (no more) factory.
