Other than BBS's, are any of you into other 'retro' tech?

Here, I still have a couple of upright Arcades, Pinball, Commodore 64's,
COmpaq portable, etc.. but still love to tinker with retro.

The other day, I bought an antique AM/FM radio via Goodwill and had it working
within a few minitues after intitial diag. That sucker sounds GREAT!

For console gaming, I resurrected an Atari 2600 with about a dozen carts, yet
also have the Atari Flashback and the Commodore C64 Mini (hdmi). Recently
re capped one of my Pong consoles and it plays GREAT!

Next goal is to see if I can dig up an old stereo console like the Magnavox
Tube Console stereo with AM/FM and Turntable to restore. Some of those
classics would be perfect in a wannabe Mid Century Modern living room.
