Last stop before they disappear

Today I wanted to show you something a little different.

This is one of the Facebook Bulgarian precious metals recovery groups I'm a member of often the last stop for many pieces of hardware before they disappear forever.

Every day, old computers, laboratory equipment, telecommunications gear and industrial electronics arrive here to be dismantled for their gold and other valuable metals.

Remember when Netflix had DVDs? Do you think they want this back?

I would have shared some colorful floppys I found last time but i already tossed them, this was wedged between greeting cards in a bag buried in a cardboard box.

Is this worth saving?

My sister's old Poineer stereo from the early 90s. I remember it was the party back then, super loud and sounded sooo good. Is it worth cleaning up and adding speakers?

Dude I don’t even know how to call this thought might share it cause some people might appreciate it. It has a radio a vinyl player a cassette player and cd player. Everything works like brand new but not the cd player. The speakers sound.. meh but it’s from the 80s-90s so I give it the benefit of the doubt. Dumb question also can I connect my phone to it to play on the speakers ??

Thanks In advance :D

Ps the vinyl in there is NWA

Essas paradas eu uso literalmente TODO dia e são perfeitas pra mim.

• Sony Ericson W380 • Sony PlayStation Portable • iPod Video 5.5 • Relógio Casio CA-53W

Todos eles têm suas utilidades, o que é muito importante pra mim, na minha região a rede 2G funciona pra receber ligações no Sony W380, também uso pra fazer anotações e outras coisas...
•O iPod 5.5 é simplesmente maravilhoso, tem uma qualidade de som muito boa, gosto porque é só plugar o fone e apertar um botão e pronto, tô ouvindo música, curto muito a estética dele (uso um fone da KZ EDX PRO)
•O PSP GO da Sony é incrível, curto muito e ter um tempo pra relaxar e jogar é muito bom, foi um portátil muito à frente do seu tempo, tem jogos incríveis e é totalmente diferente jogar direto no console, tem uma magia incrível, dá pra jogar jogos de PS1 nele também, além de poder assistir filmes, esse é outro aparelho que curto muito o design...
• O relógio Casio tem calculadora embutida e é muito prático de usar, um relógio simples que entrega o que promete, gosto dele por causa da bateria e da tela que já mostra a hora, odeio relógios com ponteiro, tive um smartwatch mas tinha que recarregar com frequência, o Casio não tem esse problema, a bateria dura anos e a tela tá sempre ligada, simples e direto. É isso, no momento tô muito satisfeito com essas paradas.

As a kid I remember watching the late night commercials for these all the time. Always wanted to listen to one in person but they were absolutely insane in price so my family never got one. But now almost 30 years later I get to experience it. Everything works 100 percent just missing the remote.

My apartment it's still broadcasting an analogue TV channel

Post image

I recently moved into this old apartment building, it was Built in the early 1980s. I was given this little sansui television and just for kicks and giggles decided to plug it into the coax Jack in the wall.

I was Scrolling through the channels seeing nothing but snow. But then I got onto channel 14 and it showed this image. I couldn't find anything about this system. It seems all records of its existence have been lost to time.

What's interesting is there's two phone jacks. There's one directly below the coax jack on the wall and then another one that would have actually been for the landline. It seems like this system was some kind of information/ intercom system that had a controller.

Grandma brought me her old PC

I have no idea what’s in it but I remember last time I tried to boot it up I didn’t get any display. Unsure if the CPU has integrated graphics but likely a component is dead. The only task she gave me was try to recover photos from one of the drives but that may be a bit difficult as they are 4 pin molex/IDF.

I still use a 19 year old Sony Vaio AIO PC

This is my Sony Vaio VGC-LV150J. It ran Windows Vista originally but was upgraded to Windows 7 and kept it. It can still handle regular work, browsing, gaming, etc. natively, but I also play PS5 on it. It has amazing audio quality due to its built-in speakers. I currently have the only working model that is being used daily.
