Do you have any?.

I had a betamax player from the 70s, that I sold for parts on eBay..

I have a really old clothes dryer that I never use. It could be in a museum.

I should get rid of that too and use the space it's in for something else.

Both of these items were inherited.

I have a Creative Zen mp3 player in my drawer and a vast collection of scart cables and leads. I also have an xbox 360 sitting gathering dust.

I have enough old tech to fill a museum. A complete Atari ST system. A 5 1/4" floppy disk drive, and several boxes of disks for it. A flatbed scanner with a SCSI connector. A roll of punched paper tape which holds the Astral Loader code for a Ferranti Argus 500 computer system. A box of 15" wide fan-fold paper for a dot matrix printer. The C compiler for Atari ST, on 3 1/2" floppy disks. Instruction set manuals for various CPU types from the 1970's through to the early 2000's. Program ROMs for one of the earliest video surveillance recording systems, from the company that invented the concept of time-multiplexed recordings that allowed up to 16 cameras to be recorded and replayed from a single VCR. The circular red launch firing button from the central console of a Bloodhound 2 missile control system.

That's just some of the bits I can think of this moment...
