I mean, I once looked into my parent's junk drawer once and they still had the (wired) remote control for our first ever VCR and it had been gone for decades.
Rich, long time ago I was 'escorted' to a police station in Flagstaff to pay a speeding ticket. Inside by the front desk they had a display case of some of the more spectacular stuff they had confiscated. Among the prize booty were several zip guns and a hand grenade.
I wish I still had my 90s answering machine tapes. I made some real silly ones. I figure if anyone knew me, they'd play along - if someone hung up, I probably didn't need to hear from them.
Usually some soundbite or bit of dialog from a movie, then me saying 'leave a message'. My favorite one was the Brian O'Blivion monologue from Videodrome. Once I was seeing a shrink and he had to call to confirm a cancellation and all he left for a message was him laughing.

I have almost all my answering machine incoming tapes - which I never rewound to recycle. They make for an interesting audio biography!
You all know about these outgoing ones because I post about them frequently. www.echonyc.com...
this sounds nearly exactly how a heater fan in a car i had sounded (the squeaky part) -when it was warmed up a bit.
before it was warmed up it sounded more like people screaming.
i have (as far as i know) all my incoming answering machine tapes. i have used some in sound pieces but not nearly enough; and some of the best ones remain ideas in my head.
