I went to a princess House
party once in the early 90's. I got some of their vitro cermaic cocokware. I still have it. They were owned by Proctor and Gamble then.

not much...
since I got rid of a roomful of vintage tube audio gear.
Now just a few hundred vacuum tubes for the 2 remaining audio systems, and some Lionel and HO train stuff.
And vintage minicomputers (pre-Apple and PC), here's 2 of them:
Digital Equipment IDEC) PDP8e
Data General Eclipse S/130
Right now just have CPUs (pics 1 + 3) but working on the rest of the systems.
Less memory than a flip phone but we actually used these things back in the '70s
and could program them in machine language using the switch and light panel.

I'm not sure if I should have posted this here, or started a new thread on the subject.
I'm a bit surprised nobody has mentioned alarm clocks.
Just the simple, analog, GE, Westclox, etc, from the '60s, '70s, '80s.
Being something that plugs in, came in a ton of different styles, colors, brands, etc, definitely have a vintage look, to add a nice little accent to a room with vintage furnishings, I had a feeling someone here must have hundreds of them!
It's just something on my mind right now, because I'm currently looking for just the right one or two to accent the decor in our two bedrooms.
I know I'll eventually need more of them, (shocking. I know), so I can change them out when we change colors of curtains, bedding, etc.
Of course, because the wide array of choices there are, I'm finding it hard to pick one to start with.
Lighted dial or not? Many that originally did light up, no longer do. Can the bulbs be replaced? I have no idea.
Anyone feel like talking about them? Maybe starting a new thread?
