Oddware: Packintell anti-gravity trackball & Tandy 1000RLX
A Packintell trackball from 1989 that has nothing to do with Packard Bell or Intel, and a Tandy 1000 that is an XT-class 286, unlike IBM's XT-286, which despite its name is actually an AT-class machine. Are you confused yet?

philco-f-206-tube-clock-radio
This one really fooled me into thinking it's solid state because it's so small and light and yet has such a great tuner... but it's actually a vacuum tube radio. Its sensitivity and selectivity is excellent -- the dial is full of stations, and adjacent channel signals can be easily discerned. It has a large speaker which would sound great in a much larger cabinet, but for its size it still sounds very good.

vintage-ge-flash-bulbs
Before xenon flash tubes, there were flash bulbs. They can only be used once and are rather dangerous, but a lot more fun! Old-time photographers probably reminisce about the smoke and fragrant smell these things give off, but not the leg burns caused by a flash bulb in your pocket going off due to static electricity (or so I've heard)!

1971-zenith-black-white-hybrid-tube
A vintage tube/transistor hybrid TV, based on the 12CB12X chassis; model number unknown because the sticker is missing. Unfortunately it was stripped of parts and the CRT was vented, so it is unrestorable.

IS LI
is-linux-faster-than-windows
Comparing Lubuntu 15.10, a lightweight version of Ubuntu Linux, with Windows XP Professional with the unofficial Service Pack 4 update (both 32-bit) on a 10-year-old PC with all original hardware to see if the oft-repeated claim that Linux is "significantly faster than Windows" and "breathes new life into old hardware" is true. Various tests were conducted using a stopwatch to keep score, as well as a highly scientific graphics benchmark to test framerates. Also, the PC's power consumption was measured to check Lubuntu's claim to be "energy saving".

A LAS
a-last-look-at-sears-route-22-watchung
A quick exterior and interior tour of the landmark Sears store on Route 22 in Watchung, NJ, that was built in 1965 and closed on September 17th, 2017.
GoFundMe campaign to help save the store's mural: https://www.gofundme.com/removal-and-conservation-of-mural
Corrections: The Sears logo changed to lowercase in 2004; this store has the slightly updated all-uppercase logo that was introduced in 1994. And the singer of the "Softer Side of Sears" jingle is Jake Holmes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Holmes

I featured the one on the right in a previous video, but it was only when I was going through a junk shelf today that I discovered I actually have two of them! Both are exactly the same model, but the one I just found is in better shape: it runs faster and the chrome bezel is unblemished.
