I have been packing to move at the end of this month and have a few
items I will be bringing in case someone wants to hack them.

- an TEAL 9120P adding machine with roll or paper and power cord
(haven't seen if it works tho) - it looks a couple decades old

- cash register button panel - again decades old with flexible
keyboard still in tact with leads coming out from panel (this is my
personal favorite)

- Tunturi Fitness Computer - has an lcd display with a six buttons,
looks like it came off a fitness bike

- a crazy covered Spitfire circuit - I have no idea what it's for,
looked it up to no avail, but I saw they make circuits for household
appliances

- a Teddy Ruxpin - just in case you don't know, these are robotic
dolls made in the late 80's/early 90's that speak and tell a story
from the cassette tape that you play from the player built in his
back. - He has batteries but is pretty beaten up, he does have one of
the OG cassette tapes which were built special to be read as audio and
decoded by the doll in order to know what movements he should be
making.

The function section in the wiki is actually pretty interesting:

Just for kicks:
