Retro Technology

Upon joining Lemmy I noticed there was no similar community here yet, so I created one.

A place to discuss and show off your vintage and retro technology. Avoid discussion of retro personal computers here but almost any other retro and old technology photos, videos, and discussion is welcome and encouraged.
