This is an #Eiki Model 3191C Cassette Player/Tape Recorder from the 1980s, brought in for #recycling. Known for their exceptional quality, durability, and compact design, these players were perfect for classrooms - and it did seem like every classroom in the 1980s had one….
Not only does it still work but the sound quality is pretty impressive, time to dig out the old tape collection!

We’ve had our fair share of old items come in for #recycling but at 70 years this may be the oldest! This is a #Philips Model 725 radio, manufactured in Canada in 1954. Featuring both medium and shortwave bands and good old fashioned vacuum tube technology (6 tubes), this…

When this #HP 19BII calculator was dropped off for #recycling the owner mentioned that they spent $250 for this when it came out in 1990, which is roughly $500 in 2024 dollars. That may seem insanely expensive for a calculator but in 1990 this was the price you had to pay if…
