Hacker Hunter Today on R4 in the mornings. Ekco A22 at least once a month for the odd 1940's 50's play and an Ekco Festival in the workshop. Red 706, I don't use it much since SHMBO nicked it for the lounge. Dial and press-button Trimphones in the workshop. And in use 24/7 the Magneta (PO36 type) master clock and four slave dials round the house.

At work I keep one of my AVO 8's on my bench, no one borrows it and a slide rule on my desk, every design I do has at least one calculation done with it the rest are done on an HP15C, all my calculators are RPN they don't disappear either.
