1989 Nintendo Gameboy

Today I will be talking about my 1989 Nintendo Gameboy I got it in 2014 at a 2nd hand shop for $40. (the shop closed down the same year sadly)

                                          So here's the story on how i got it:

Me and my family were going to the new 2nd shop. I was super excited and i said to my parents: I am certain that a Gameboy would be for sale. I was right. There was a Gameboy there. There was also a Gameboy Pocket but i wanted the original, not the Pocket. So i asked how much she wanted for it, and she said $40. But i didn't have that much cash, so i had to pay it off. I ended up making $39 in three days by doing TONS of chores. I had $1 to go, so my parents gave me that dollar so i could pay the amount. I'm pretty sure we went to get it the same day but not 100%. When we arrived to pick it up, the woman said i could get a game too for free! So i choose Mega Man: Dr Wily's Revenge instead of Super Mario Land because it wasn't there sadly, But now i have a copy of it. (And now i have completed it about 4-5 times). 

                                          Here's a picture of my Gameboy

Kodak M28 Instamatic Movie Camera

Hello everyone! Today I will be talking about my Kodak M 28 Instamatic Movie Camera from 1970-1975.




                                                                        Here it is:

I got it last year for $8 at a place called 'Trash Transformers'.

It came still in a box with instructions and original battery's                                          

                                                Here's the story on how i got it:

                   I was wondering around (this was my first time there) and i went up some steps                                                                                 to a higher platform and spotted a yellow box

 
                                               

                                                                  (not my photo)


                   So i thought to myself: I wonder whats i that box?

                   I went over to see and I was amazed! An old film camera! I thought.

                   So i picked it up brought it to the desk and asked how much.

                   My mum thought I was going to be disappointed about the price.

                  She looked into the box and thought for about 5 seconds. Then she
 
                  Said: Umm... $8. and me and my Mum & Dad were amazed  so i got it

                  brought it home and gave it a clean and checked the price. It is worth about

                  $40-50.

Praktica L2

Today i would like to talk about my Praktica L2 1970s vintage camera. It is my favourite out of my collection. (I got it about 4 years ago)

                                                        

                                                             Here it is:

                                               

  

                                      I got this camera at a Tip-Shop near Devonport (Tasmania)

                                             It was lying in a box of other cameras

                                                 (worthless early 2000s cheap ones)

                                            I picked it up excited and happy with my find.

                

                                        When i asked a staff member for the price they said $5.

                                         So i bought it, brought it home and cleaned it up.

                                          

                                                      It came with the lens (Pictured) 

                                      Here is some info: http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Praktica_L2

                                        The camera is from the 1970s and was made in East Germany

               

                              (DDR) but I'm not sure how old it is exactly. If you have some more 

                                       specific info about it then feel free to comment!
