My tape machines from the Tascam 424 series. I'm currently recapping and restoring a reel-to-reel machine. Would like more of those so that I can make insanely long delays and loops.
I also like retro consoles. I repair and restore various consoles from Nintendo: DMG-01 for me. The kids like the Nintendo DS's we got used; I have a box of spares I cannibalize for parts as we need for repairs or customization. I keep my Nintendo 2DSXL going; great bit of kit there.
I still build things with the classic 555 chips and the (re-issued) CEM-3340 chips. Working on a mod synth with one of my kids to help them learn electronics (and music).
I don't buy new computers anymore... we just have refurbished, off-lease Thinkpads. With a good backup system in place these can be swapped out, repaired, or replaced easily as life happens.
And I guess when I do woodworking I also don't use power-tools and build things with hand tools only. I tend to find tools at estate sales or garages and I restore them and put them to use.
