How many years did it take you to amass such a large collection?

Most of the stuff was pretty inexpensive.  Right place at the right time.

About 10 years , maybe a bit less.  I dont like to spend much money so it takes a while to find a good deal or set up a good trade

Wow! I would have thought atleast 20+ years.

Wow! Congratulations. If only I *had* a basement.... Living in god-damned Calif there are NO basements, so we can't accumulate all this awesomeness. Basements are the perfect, perfect place to have a museum. And you've put all that wonderful space to great use!

I did have to move the washer and dryer to the main floor.  My wife says it smells like 'obsolete technology' down here and refuses to set foot in the basement.

I had that same 'problem' too.

some people smoke, some drink, some gamble.  My vice is that I can not stop going to flea markets and thrift stores looking for this stuff

ROFLOL - getting a hardy laugh from this.  Exactly so.  The collection is amazeballs, rietveld!

How much of this stuff works, rietveld?
 

Also whoever posted, “you must have 2MB RAM there, congrats” - that is an A++++++ comment, huge laugh from that.

Beautiful collection but watch those cats. They appear to be looking for a place to pee.
