When you hear the name #Mitsubishi naturally the first thing you think of is automobiles, but they have been manufacturing quality electronics since 1921. A nice example is this Mitsubishi DT-7 #Stereo #Cassette Deck, released in late 1979/early 1980 with a list price of $260 USD (approximately $850 today). This deck features a 2-head design, Dolby-B and C noise reduction, tape type selection with support for normal, chrome, and metal tapes, and to top it all off it has a nice-looking pair of analog VU meters.

Here’s an #HP SureStore 6000 magnetic tape drive from 1995 - you know it’s old when you look at the back and see a 50-pin #SCSI connector! Interesting fact, when HP first got involved in the computer industry in the 1960s their first product wasn’t a computer or a printer, it was a magnetic tape drive.

Here we have an 8GB 1st Generation #iPhone, released by #Apple in 2007 and well…you know the rest or the story. What’s really remarkable is that none of us at the shop can recall ever seeing a 1st Gen iPhone come through our doors…are people keeping them as souvenirs?

We are often asked what the difference is between an #SSD (Solid State Drive) and a regular #HDD and why you might want to make the switch to an SSD, so here are just a few reasons: Improved Durability: Unlike HDDs, SSDs have no moving parts which means they have a lower risk of physical damage and are less susceptible to shocks and vibrations. Speed Boost: SSDs can access and transfer data much faster than traditional HDDs, resulting in quicker boot times and application launches. Lower Power Consumption: SSDs use less power which can give your laptop battery longer life, reduce overheating, and extend the lifespan of the device. And remember that SSDs aren’t immune from failure so always remember to back up your data!

We all know about the iMac but have you heard of the eMac? Introduced in 2002 the Apple #eMac (short for Education Mac) was, as the name suggests, meant to be sold only to educational institutions. Featuring a 1 GHz PowerPC G4 processor, 128-256 MB SDRAM, and a reasonable introductory price of $1,099 USD (around $1,700 today), the eMac was eventually made available to all customers as a cheaper mass-market alternative to the iMac G4.

Does this look familiar? I think it’s safe to say that we all have a junk drawer overflowing with random wires we will never use again, but though it may be junk it doesn’t belong in the trash. The good news is that we #recycle all types of wires and cables, so do yourself and the environment a favour and bring us your junk!

Here’s a vintage electric #typewriter from the early to mid 60s, the Smith-Corona 200. Known for their durability and reliability, Smith-Corona typewriters were a popular choice for decades until the advent of personal computers and word processing software in the 1980s. This was marketed as a portable typewriter but it weighs a whopping 26 pounds, so you better be fit if you want to lug this thing around.

This is the #Argus 500 Model 554 slide projector, built in Ann Arbor, Michigan, presumably from the 60s. What we know for certain is that this is in pristine condition and is still working, which is pretty impressive considering it’s age. We find that old projectors that come in for #recycling are more often than not in great condition- it seems like back in the day everyone bought a slide projector but never used them…guess people really didn’t want to watch slide shows and we can’t blame them!
