Presently Owned Technologies

Basically just a compilation of electronic stuff that I currently own and collect.

Copal MG-111 flip clock timer (1971). Here's a view of the clock that showcases the orange, neon-discharge lamp that continuously illuminates the number tiles, even in the daylight hours. This photo was taken in the upstairs hallway in my house, with all the bedroom doors closed.Copal MG-111 flip clock timer (1971). I traded in a camera that I no longer needed for this interesting piece of tech. There are two non-polarized outlets on the backside, which can be turned off at certain time of day, or turned off after up to 90 minutes. The buzzer is pretty loud, too.Super Simon (1979-1980). This game was recently purchased at a local charity-owned resale shop, where 95% of all purchases went to Hospice, while the manager received the other 5%. I've put about $6 total into the unit: $1 went into the game itself, $2.50 went into Size D batteries, and another $2.50 into a 9 Volt battery. I lucked out with restoring the unit; I used some fine-grit sandpaper to break off any contact corrosion on the switches, tightened up the button contacts, and repainted the switch indicators... Everything works and looks like it did when the unit came off the assembly line in 1980.Handspring Visor Deluxe, a PDA from 2000 running the Palm OS platform. Don't mind the tablecloth. XD I bought the PDA itself for $1 at Goodwill, while the Serial Docking Cradle was purchased for $15 on Amazon. It does indeed function with a USB-to-Serial adapter; in fact, that's how I get data from the Visor to Windows 98 in Oracle VirtualBox. The tip of the stylus pen unscrews to reveal a plastic pin that you can use to reset the Visor, while the back end unscrews to reveal a small Phillips screwdriver.Panasonic T325 electronic typewriter (1987). I received this from a client who no longer needed it (he had upgraded to a newer typewriter), and the only issues I had with the Panasonic upon receipt, was the fact that the steel carriage rod kept seizing up the carriage - an issue that was easily resolved by applying lithium grease to the steel rod. To go with it, the client sent me home with 4 unused carbon-based ribbons and only one font drum - Courier 12 - which was already installed in the typewriter.ASCIIWare Super Advantage joystick for Super NES. Works wonderfully as an improvised MAME arcade stick when used with a computer via a Super NES to USB adapter box. :3Closeup of the Apple iBook G3. Since the headphone plug doubles as an audiovisual output, I consider the iBook to be an integral part of my video game collection. As you can see, it's currently booted into Mac OS 9.2.2, but I plan on trying to install Ubuntu Linux.My Sega Dreamcast software collection.Bottom shelf: NES's, PS1's, and a discolored Super NES that I use for parts.... Oh, and my 10-watt Yamaha guitar amp.All my home consoles, lined up in chronological order, and congregated in the middle of my bedroom floor.

Yes, I did in fact create a 3-conductor extension cable by using a spare computer power cord and a jumper cable that lets you connect your monitor to certain computer power supplies. ;)Game collection overviewSuper NES versions 1 and 2, Super R-Type (in SNES Model 1), Guitar Hero On Tour, and GameCube (with analog and digital AV outputs)Guitar Hero On Tour, GameCube, Sony PlayStation (Model No. SCPH-7501, top), and World of Warcraft Battle ChestSony PlayStation 2 Slim (Model No. SCPH-70012), and a cassette drawer filled with audio cassettes and a handful of Sega Genesis/MegaDrive cartridges. If you can find any kind of container that can store standard standard audio cassettes, like a rack, carry case or a drawer, then you've found yourself a handy storage unit for Sega Master System and MegaDrive/Genesis games, as well as audio cassettes. ;)PlayStation 2 (2004) + Casio TV-2000 portable TV (circa 1985 or 1986)
