I am a collector of old-time computers and pinball machines. The computers I like are usually desktops or microcomputers oriented toward scientific or workstation uses, and often have rare or obscure CPUs or things about them that make them unique (though I am also a sucker for IBM stuff). Some of my oldest computers include an HP 9830 (kitted like it's 1976), two IBM 5110s (1978), and two HP 9845s (kitted like it's 1982). The pinball machines I like come from pretty much all eras, except for early solid state games from about 1977-1982. I have won awards for my restorations of antique and vintage pinball games (they were made in 1948 and 1973, to be specific) and have acquired another award-winning game from 2007.

Same with Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok (except I lost my special burner TikTok phone :-/ so I haven't posted there in a long time)
