Got anything vintage related at work/in your office to remind you of our hobby?

My last job had a few things. There was an old XT that ran tests on huge communication racks. I was the one who ran the tests :)

Other than that, the vintage stuff ended up coming home with me. They used to have a wire wrap machine which ran software stored on reels of paper tape. I took the paper tape reader home when they told me to throw it in the dumpster. It is currently taking up a fair chunk of real estate in my garage.

The other item I made off with was a Sharp PC-1261 pocket computer with the printer. I absolutely adore that thing. It's an nice upgrade from my TRS-80 PC-3 :)
 
Err..

I have a Bondi blue iMac, a Mac 512, my TRS-80 Model III, my Lanier Model 103, a HP 1741A scope on a cart, various old meters and other test equipment. My desk is even a gray Art Metal thing from the fifties.

I keep a few things around 'cause I can.
