My Current Camera Gear:
So currently I have three cameras, out of which only one I'm able to use regurarily
This cheap Kodak DSLR from the 2010s
This old JVC Video8 Tape Camcorder from the 2000s
This Pentax 35mm Film Camera from the 2000s
So the DSLR works and I use it for stuff right now, the camcorder seems to have a tape issue and I'll have to buy some Video8 tape in the future which costs a pretty penny and the film camera has run out of film but is still functioning
My Sony Discman:
I use this to listen to my music and shit
This thing fucks man, I bought some HP CdRs in bulk and burnt all my favourite albums in lossless flac quality. It runs on AAs and has a pretty great battery life. I'd use this as my regular music player if CDs didn't take up much space

My PS2
I got this PS2 slim way back in the 2010s, it must've been one of the later models right before production shut down
It came with an eye toy which I've been trying to configure with my laptop so I can record stuff. It had 3 games along with it. A WWE wrestling game, the eyetoy game and a bootleg Tom and Jerry game
The fan gets really loud for some reason despite it being clean and it's got a busted disc drive which I tried to fix but ended up with a burnt finger because for some reason it had an unsheilded internal power supply. Other than that it boots up fine, the disc drive has a sensor which starts up the motor when it closes but mine seems to have a bit of plastic chipped off of it which makes the sensor faulty and not detect a disc. Fixing it is on my to do list
