I got lucky at a garage sale today.
Scored this little fella for CHF 25.
It's an #OregonScientific Osaris pocket computer, still complete and pretty unused.
Seems to be like a pocket organiser.

Oops I did it again, I bought another #Seiko UC-2000 / Data-2000.
Unfortunately this one is also dead, but maybe I can create a Franken watch with the other dead ones that I have. The keyboard is in mint condition but that screen doesn't fill me with confidence.

Replying to @cheesefox@infosec.exchange

@cheesefox@infosec.exchange Looks great. Dunno about UK advertising, guess the usual eBay, Etsy etc. would do.

Replying to @leeuw@universeodon.com

@leeuw@universeodon.com I paid CHF 130 for it. Not a steal but an OK price considered all the games included.

Great score today!
Found this #Videopac at a thrift store, including a whole box of games. Unfortunately the power supply is missing, but I might have one.
Gonna see which games I have now double and triple.🙄

A #Commodore #VIC1020 at the enter.ch technology world in Switzerland.
It's basically a #vic20 attached to an enclosure.
To the right you see two #VIC10 aka #MAX04 aka #MaxMachine.

Offtopic: In case you were wondering if the stories about Switzerland having the highest bunker-people ratio in the world were true.
This "newsstand kiosk" that I enter from the back entrance features 2 restaurants and 10 rooms for band practice.😜

A "MBO Teleball-Cassetten-System" console at the enter.ch technology world in Switzerland. Also known as Paladium Telegame.
It's a 1977 first generation console which has no CPU. Most of the logic sits in its cartridges.
Until recently I had never heard of this thing.

Remember last year(or so) I saved this #Macintosh from the trash.
I thought it was dead and for parts.
Well, as it turns out it had a rare #Apple IIe card inside.🥳
It's pretty much a whole IIe computer, like the one in the last picture, on a card.

An original #Atari #Pong videogame at the enter.ch technology world in Switzerland.
Very nice 70s themed setup.👌

Next up, the Smaky 324.
Apparently a Swiss made computer of the EPF Lausanne.

We went to the enter.ch technology world today in Derendingen, Switzerland and I'm gonna share some pictures here.
First up, the #Commodore 900 computer, an ultra rare prototype that never made it to production.
Don't know what that thing on top is though.🤔😁

I'm trying to get our local museum to adopt by Telex machine that I inherited from my grandpa.
Hopefully they'll take it, I want it to go to a good home.

I'm currently relocating the contents of my garage, because the landlord wants to do renovations.
I'd say, Im currently at 20%🙄🫣
