Here's a Northern Telecom Displayphone 1000. It was any early combination-data terminal/telephone developed in the late-70s and sold through the 1980s; the 1000 was a more advanced model that featured a swivel monitor and detachable keyboard.

A sad, lonely copy of "Blue's Clues" on VHS:

My Grandmother use to be one of those girls.



(Found in non-abandoned farm while searching for abandoned buildings in country in the back of a little store they had, in spite of appearance suspect it hasn't been used in years.)

(EDIT: Picture was too big)

A couple from last weekend:

Old vacuum, VCR, and a television with dials



An old portable radio



As a vinyl collector, I'd argue that record players are not obsolete technology, but...

In the same category. Only we had to go through a muddy hell to get there! Like many bunkers, this one was still under the ground so we had to dig our way to the entrance. The first step inside wasn't really what we had expected, sinking knee deep into horrible smelling sludge. It was close to a farmer's field so someone probably dumped loads of sludgy manure stuff in there for years. But the discovery of this very rare piece made it all worthwhile.

This is only the casing, with a battery box above it


The front plate where the phone lines would go into


All cleaned up as much as was possible, and now in our museum

These were common UE gears back then.

Anybody know what this is?

It kinda looks like an engraving machine. The round dial at the top - did it have numbers and letters on it? What kind of location was it found in?

It was found in a hospital. It was letters and numbers, so you might be right. Sounds better than my best guess.

Trash-80! If I was into that sort of thing, I would have taken this. Unfortunately, someone decided to cut EVERY electrical cord in the building. Even the headphones.
