   Part of the appeal of old electronics is more than just nostalgia. Most of the devices I've posted here were made and sold before I was even born

   A lot of them, I've never used personally

   I'd argue there's an original charm to them that modern devices have not matched and, realistically as the markets dictate, will never match

   That leaves the makers, the DIYers, the hackers. I can see some of that charm returning to things we make on our own

   I'm OK with this
